    GlossaryPhosphate Buffer (phosphate-buffered saline)

    solution maintaining stable pH in biological experiments

    A phosphate buffer, often referred to as phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), is a solution commonly used in biological research to maintain a stable pH environment. It consists of a mixture of sodium phosphate, sodium chloride, and sometimes potassium phosphate, which helps to mimic the ion concentration and osmolarity of the human body, making it ideal for experiments involving cells and tissues.
