Glycerin salt solution ( buffered)

Glycerin Salt Solution (Buffered) is a buffered aqueous solution containing glycerin and salts, commonly used in biological and pharmaceutical applications to maintain osmotic balance and stabilize samples.

🏭⚗️ Production
This solution is prepared by dissolving specific salts such as sodium chloride and phosphate buffers in water, followed by the addition of glycerin. The mixture is stirred until homogeneous and sterilized by filtration or autoclaving. The buffer system maintains the solution’s pH within a desired physiological range.

🔬 Properties
The solution is typically clear and viscous due to glycerin content. It maintains a stable pH, is isotonic or near-isotonic depending on salt concentration, and provides humectant properties thanks to glycerin, which helps preserve tissue hydration.

🧪 Applications
Used extensively in histology and microbiology for specimen preservation and mounting media. Also applied in pharmaceutical formulations for topical and ophthalmic products to enhance moisture retention and stability.

⚠️ Safety
Generally considered safe for laboratory and pharmaceutical use. Standard precautions include wearing gloves and eye protection. Avoid ingestion and prolonged skin contact. Dispose of waste in accordance with safety regulations.
