Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution

Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) is isotonic solutions used to maintain osmolality and pH in biological applications. HBSS  include glucose and sodium bicarbonate for short-term maintenance of cells outside of the growth medium.  These buffers also come in a variety of formulations, including with or without calcium/magnesium and with or without phenol red, so you may customize the appropriate buffer depending on your application.

• Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution, a saline solution used to keep the osmotic pressure and pH in cells

Hanks’ salts is a collective group of salts rich in bicarbonate ions, formulated in 1940 by the microbiologist John H. Hanks. Typically, they are used as a buffer system in cell culture media and aid in maintaining the optimum physiological pH (roughly 7.0–7.4) for cellular growth. Due to their poorly reactive nature and small concentration in solution, Hanks’ salts are mainly used in media that are exposed to atmospheric conditions as opposed to CO
2 incubation. Performing the latter drastically exceeds the buffer capacity of Hanks’ salts and may result in cell death.
