Key Features of HBSS Without Ca and Mg, with 0.35 g/L NaHCO3, and Phenol Red:

1. Calcium- and Magnesium-Free: Ideal for experiments where the absence of calcium and magnesium is crucial for preserving specific cellular responses or for compatibility with other reagents.
2. Buffered Salt Solution: The addition of 0.35 g/L NaHCO3 ensures a stable pH environment, mimicking physiological conditions and supporting cell viability.
3. Phenol Red Indicator: Phenol Red provides a visual indicator of pH changes, aiding researchers in monitoring the acidity of the solution and adjusting conditions accordingly.
4. Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of cell culture applications, including cell maintenance, washing, and various experimental procedures.

Applications:

• Cell Culture Maintenance: Use HBSS for routine cell culture maintenance, including washing and rehydration of cells.
• Cell-based Experiments: Ideal for experiments requiring a calcium- and magnesium-free environment or when compatibility with other reagents is essential.
• Microscopy and Imaging: The addition of Phenol Red allows for easy visualization of the solution’s pH, making it suitable for microscopy and imaging applications.
