Manufactured in a cGMP-compliant facility with rigorous quality controls such as 0.1 μm filtration and endotoxin testing, HBSS ensures reliable performance for advanced laboratory workflows. ## Description HBSS (Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution) is used for a variety of cell culture applications, including washing cells before dissociation, transporting cells or tissue, diluting cells for counting, and preparing reagents. 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).
