Description
Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution without Calcium and Magnesium is a balanced salt preparation used for a variety of cell culture applications, including washing cells before dissociation, transporting cells, and diluting cell suspensions. The formulation is modified with glucose and phenol red, and is free of calcium and magnesium, supporting workflows that require divalent cation-free conditions during handling outside complete growth media.
This article is part of Cell culture media & sera, in Cell culture.
Offered as a single pack of 1 pc with a net weight of 0,100 kg and a gross weight of 0,130 kg, this HBSS variant from manufacturer Sartorius provides a practical format for routine laboratory use. Phenol red acts as a visible pH indicator during short-term procedures, while glucose is included in the salt matrix as specified for this modified composition. The solution is suited to sample preparation steps that precede enzymatic dissociation and to controlled transfer or dilution of cells under defined ionic conditions.
Laboratories select this calcium- and magnesium-free Hanks' balanced salt solution when protocols call for washing, transport, or dilution rather than long-term cultivation. It fits standard cell culture benches where a consistent, glucose-containing HBSS without Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ is required for reproducible handling of adherent or suspension cultures.

Questions about Hank's BSS w/o Calcium & Magnesium 100ML
What is this article?
Hank's BSS w/o Calcium & Magnesium 100ML is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Sartorius for laboratory use. It sits in Cell culture media & sera, inside Cell culture, in Microbiology lab supplies.
Cell-culture medium is the liquid a cell line grows in. Serum, often fetal bovine, supplies what the basal medium does not. With or without glutamine, with or without phenol red, and the serum origin are different products. Serum is a cold-chain article and is never part of free standard delivery.
Cell culture grows cells outside the body. The medium, often with serum, supplies what the flask does not. A flask or a dish is the vessel, treated so the cells attach or left untreated so they float. Contamination by microbes, or by another cell line, is the ordinary failure. Cold-chain articles in this work, including serum, are never part of free standard delivery. Lines are catalogued by ATCC. Papers are on PubMed. Practice is summarised by the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
