Description

Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) is used for a variety of cell culture applications, such as washing cells before dissociation, transporting cells or tissue samples, diluting cells for counting, and preparing reagents.

Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) is used for a variety of cell culture applications, such as washing cells before dissociation, transporting cells or tissue samples, diluting cells for counting, and preparing reagents. Formulations without calcium and magnesium are required for rinsing chelators from the culture before cell dissociation.

We offer a variety of Gibco™ HBSS formulations for a range of cell culture applications.

This HBSS is modified as follows:

With: Glucose

Without: Calcium, Magnesium, Phenol Red

The complete formulation is available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do you offer a 10X version of the HBSS, no calcium, no magnesium, no phenol red (Cat. No. 14175095)?

Yes, we do offer HBSS (10X), no calcium, no magnesium, no phenol red (Cat. No. 14185052).

Can I store Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) in the refrigerator?

The recommended storage condition for our HBSS products is at 15-30 degrees C. Generally, storage at 4 degrees C will not impact these products. The only concern would be for the 10x HBSS solutions with calcium and magnesium as these salts might precipitate when stored outside the recommended temperature ranges. As long as you don't see any precipitation upon refrigeration, the product will be fine.
I understand that some media are worse than others for fluorescence imaging. How do I choose?

Most media contain phenol red, which can quench fluorescent dyes in the visible wavelengths. Most media also contain autofluorescent components, such as riboflavin, which can reduce signal-to-background. We offer FluoroBrite DMEM and HEPES-based Live Cell Imaging Solution, which have been optimized for fluorescent imaging. We also offer a number of media without phenol red. But if none of these are reasonable options for your experiment, then we also offer BackDrop Background Suppressor ReadyProbes Reagent, which can be added to quench media autofluorescence.
Should I be concerned about phenol red in my media when labeling my live cells with fluorescent dyes?

Some cell types accumulate phenol red, and this can pose a problem in the use of many fluorescent probes. Phenol red can quench visible-wavelength dyes and, although phenol red is non-fluorescent, various impurities may be fluorescent. We have many phenol red-free media to choose from. Our Live Cell Imaging Solution (HEPES-based) and our FluoroBrite DMEM have been optimized to be phenol red-free as well as to be non-autofluorescent.
Do you offer media without phenol red (phenol red-free media)?

Yes, please visit this page for a list of our phenol red-free media (http://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/brochures/Phenol_RedFree_Media_Glance.pdf).
