Additionally, PurMa Biologics manufactures PBS for regular uses as well as for cell culture purposes. This especially applies to protocols requiring use of consistent conditions such as crosslinking, biotinylation and fluorescent labeling reactions. The mentioned applications certainly require an amine-free buffer.<\/p>\n<h2>General Feature<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>PurMa Biologics manufactures this buffer in two pH: 7.4 \u00b1 0.01 and 7.2 \u00b1 0.01 at 25\u00b0C.<\/li>\n<li>We rigorously sterilize it by 0.22\u00b5m membrane.<\/li>\n<li>Additionally, it is a cost-effective balanced salt solution used for a variety of biochemical applications.<\/li>\n<li>PurMa Biologics packs all our buffer under N<sub>2, <\/sub>as a result, the pH won&#8217;t change over time before opening the bottle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Specific Feature<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Cell Culture Suited<\/li>\n<li>We deplete\u00a0 Mg<sup>2+<\/sup> and Ca<sup>2+<\/sup> ions<\/li>\n<li>Our manufacturing process removes\u00a0 RNAse \/DNase<\/li>\n<li>Free of Proteases.<\/li>\n<li>PurMa Biologics\u00a0 rigorously test for contaminating,\u00a0 nonspecific endonuclease, exonuclease, as well as\u00a0 RNase activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For complete formulation, Click here, as well as formulation tab:<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PBS-Formulation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PBS Formulation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>PurMa Biologics Manufactures Several Grades of Buffers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Regular Grade Buffer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>PurMa Biologics manufactures Regular grade of buffer by using:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/product\/cell-culture-suited-water\/\">PurMa\u2122 Cell Culture Suited Water (Cat# P3W110101)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We sterilize the buffers by autoclaving the solution.
