General description

The essential function of Hanks′ Balanced Salt solution is to maintain pH as well as osmotic balance. It also provides water and essential inorganic ions to cells.
Formulation: click here.

Application

Hanks′ Balanced Salt solution has been used:

  • to study the degradation and cytotoxic effects of the composite material and the ion and/or magnetite release from the scaffolds.
  • to measure the stability of the magnetic scaffold material in bone tissue engineering.
  • in Fluorometric Measurements of intracellular calcium levels [Ca2+]
  • for isolating polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) from umbilical cord blood
  • For assessing airway inflammation in mice

Other Notes

Phenol red has been shown to interfere with the growth of some cells at cloning densities. Use this medium when growing cells at low densities.

Rat Dermal Fibroblasts (RDF) Culture Protocol

Store the cryovials in a liquid nitrogen storage tank immediately upon arrival.

Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells (BAOEC) Culture Protocol

Technical information for working with bovine aortic endothelial cells including thawing, subculturing and cryopreservation.

Human Aortic Endothelial Cells (HAOEC) Culture Protocol

Technical information for working with human aortic endothelial cells including thawing, subculturing and cryopreservation. Be sure to wear face protection mask and gloves when retrieving cryovials from the liquid nitrogen storage tank. The dramatic temperature change from the tank to the room could cause any trapped liquid nitrogen in the cryovials to burst and cause injury.
