HBSS without calcium and magnesium is required for rinsing chelators from the culture before cell dissociation. Hygia’s balanced salt solutions are manufactured at a cGMP-compliant facility using water for injection, filtered through final 0.1 μm sterile filtration and aseptic filled in a Hundred-stage FFU. The filter integrity tests are performed before and after filtration. Each lot of HBSS solutions are subjected to sterility test, pH, osmolality and endotoxin. Review: Expiration date less than 9 months after delivery - Expiration date on the Hanks solution delivered (HBSS) was Nov. 2023 so less than 9 months after delivery (Feb. 2023). When ordering this type of product, I expect to be able to use it for a minimum of one year after purchase. Given that this item is not eligible for return, I am stuck with a short useful life for this product. ## Features - Volume Capacity: 500 mL bottle size suitable for multiple cell culture applications and laboratory procedures - Formulation Specification: HBSS without calcium and magnesium, specifically designed for rinsing chelators from culture before cell dissociation - Versatile Applications: Used for washing cells before dissociation, transporting cells or tissue, diluting cells for counting, and preparing reagents - Manufacturing Standards: Produced at a cGMP-compliant facility using water for injection, filtered through final 0.1 m sterile filtration and aseptic filled in a Hundred-stage FFU - Quality Control Testing: Each lot undergoes comprehensive testing including sterility test, pH measurement, osmolality assessment, and endotoxin verification with filter integrity tests performed before and after filtration ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BTK6BTB3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #622,085 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #33 in Chemical Salts #1,695 in Life Science Supplies | | Brand | Hygia Reagents | | Brand Name | Hygia Reagents | | Customer Reviews | 2.0 out of 5 stars 1 Review | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Included Components | 1 bottle | | Item Form | Solution | | Manufacturer | Hygia Reagents | | Manufacturer Part Number | HB-HBSS | | Number of Items | 1000 | | Primary Supplement Type | Mineral | | UPC | 755457565908 | | Unit Count | 17.64 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hygia Reagents - **Flavor:** Unflavored - **Manufacturer:** Hygia Reagents - **Number of Items:** 1000 - **Unit Count:** 17.637 Ounce ## Images ![Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61goLXTsvaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Expiration date less than 9 months after delivery *by A***E on February 21, 2023* Expiration date on the Hanks solution delivered (HBSS) was Nov. 2023 so less than 9 months after delivery (Feb. 2023).
