Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a balanced salt solution that 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. PBS is formulated without calcium and magnesium for rinsing chelators from the culture before cell dissociation. Concentrated forms of Gibco™ PBS may require pH adjustment at the time of dilution (see protocol for details).

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


This PBS is manufactured as follows:
Without
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Phenol Red


The complete formulation is available.

For Research Use or Further Manufacturing. Not for diagnostic use or direct administration into humans or animals.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Are your PBS products tested for endotoxin levels?

Our PBS, pH 7.2 and PBS, pH 7.4 products are tested for endotoxin and the endotoxin levels are shown on the Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for the particular lot number of the product.

Find additional tips, troubleshooting help, and resources within our Cell Culture Support Center.

Are your PBS products sterile and suitable for cell culture?

We offer PBS - Phosphate-Buffered Saline (10X) pH 7.4, RNase-free (Cat. Nos. AM9624 and AM9625), which is molecular biology grade and is certified to be RNase-free. However, it is not sterile and hence is not cell culture-grade.

All our other PBS products (Cat. Nos. 70011xxx, 10010xxx, 70013xxx, 20012xxx) are filter-sterilized using a 0.1 µm filter and are cell culture grade (ready to use directly on cells). However, they are not tested for nuclease activity.

Are your PBS products DNase- and RNase-free?

We offer PBS - Phosphate-Buffered Saline (10X) pH 7.4, RNase-free (Cat. Nos. AM9624 and AM9625) that is molecular biology grade and is certified to be RNase-free. Our other PBS products are made with distilled water and are filter-sterilized, but are not tested for RNase and DNase activity.

Is a precipitate in PBS normal?

No, this is not normal and if there is a precipitate in the product, it cannot be used. If the precipitate will not go back into solution, please contact Technical Support at techsupport@thermofisher.com for a replacement.

Find additional tips, troubleshooting help, and resources within our Cell Culture Support Center.

What is the difference between PBS and DPBS?

PBS has no potassium chloride (KCl) and it has a slightly lower level of phosphate (PO4) than DPBS. PBS is used for washing cells when viability isn't critical.

Subcellular targeting of RGS9-2 is controlled by multiple molecular determinants on its membrane anchor, R7BP.
Authors:Song JH, Waataja JJ, Martemyanov KA,
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:16574655
'RGS9-2, a member of the R7 RGS protein family of neuronal RGS (Regulators of G protein Signaling), is a critical regulator of G protein signaling. In striatal neurons, RGS9-2 is tightly associated with a novel palmitoylated protein - R7BP (R7 family Binding Protein). Here we report that R7BP acts to ... More

'Inhibition of transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) signaling by the Epstein-Barr virus Latent Membrane Protein 1 (LMP1) may account, at least in part, for the oncogenic activity of LMP1. We found that LMP1 is a potent inhibitor of TGFbeta signaling and Smad-dependent activation of transcription in 293 epithelial cells and ... More

Regulation of cell functions by the physical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) has emerged as a crucial contributor to development and disease. Two specific physical properties of the ECM, stiffness and dimensionality, each influence cell signaling and function. As these ECM physical properties are linked to other properties that ... More

Elucidation of the neural substrates underlying complex animal behaviors depends on precise activity control tools, as well as compatible readout methods. Recent developments in optogenetics have addressed this need, opening up new possibilities for systems neuroscience. Interrogation of even deep neural circuits can be conducted by directly probing the necessity ... More
