  • Relevance

    PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline) and Tween 20 are used as a wash buffer in immunolabeling techniques. Tween 20 is added to promote more effective washings, resulting in decreased non-specific background staining. Tween 20 is also known to promote reagent spreading in automated staining methodologies.

Question

For 20x PBS buffer with Tween 20 (ab64247):   What is the mix ratio for 500ml or 1 Liter? Molarity of salt types?

Answer

ab64247 is supplied as a liquid at a 20X concentration. To prepare a 500 mL solution of 1X PBS with 0.05% Tween-20, add 25 mL of the 20X stock to 475 mL ddH2O. To prepare a 1 L solution, add 50 mL of the 20X stock to 950 mL ddH2O. The 1X solution pH will be approximately 7.4 but we recommend that you measure and adjust the pH if necessary. The final concentration of the salts in a 1X solution is 0.133 M sodium chloride, 8.6 mM potassium phosphate dibasic, and 1.4 mM potassium phosphate monobasic.
