HBSS | Hanks' Balanced Salts Solution

Chemically defined, Balanced Salt Solutions provide an environment that will conserve the structural and physiological integrity of mammalian cells in vitro.

Balanced salts solutions have several roles in vitro, principally :
– maintainance of intra and extra-cellular osmotic pressure
– providing glucose, water and some inorganic ions for cellular metabolism
– maintainance in vitro physiological pH conditions (7.2-7.6)
