Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I store Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) in the refrigerator?

The recommended storage condition for our HBSS products is at 15-30 degrees C. Generally, storage at 4 degrees C will not impact these products. The only concern would be for the 10x HBSS solutions with calcium and magnesium as these salts might precipitate when stored outside the recommended temperature ranges. As long as you don't see any precipitation upon refrigeration, the product will be fine.

Is it true that phenol red has estrogenic properties?

Phenol red in tissue culture is a weak estrogen. Implications concerning study of estrogen-responsive cells in culture are discussed in Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 83:2496 (1986).
