It, however, contains inorganic salts and carbohydrates as an energy source designed for the short-term maintenance of mammalian cells in a CO2 environment. The solution additionally provides an ideal environment to preserve the structural and physiological integrity of cells <em>invitro<\/em> by maintaining pH as well as the balance between intra and extracellular osmotic pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure whether to choose HBSS or EBSS?
