A young goat is called a kid. A female kid is called a doeling, and an uncastrated male is called a buckling. Kaylee Askew 0 7 years ago
Phosphate-buffered saline (abbreviated PBS) is a buffer solution commonly used in biological research.It is a water-based salt solution containing sodium phosphate, sodium chloride and, in some formulations, potassium chloride and potassium phosphate.he simplest way to prepare a PBS solution is to use PBS buffer tablets or pouches. They are formulated to give a ready-to-use PBS solution upon dissolution in a specified quantity of distilled water. They are available in the standard volumes: 100, 200, 500 and 1000 mL, and 10, 25, 50 and 100 L.
Acid-base buffers confer resistance to a change in the pH of a solution when hydrogen ions (protons) or hydroxide ions are added or removed. An acid-base buffer typically consists of a weak acid, and its conjugate base (salt) (see Equations 2-4 in the blue box, below).he pK for the phosphate buffer is 6.8, which allows this buffer to function within its optimal buffering range at physiological pH. The phosphate buffer only plays a minor role in the blood, however, because H 3 PO 4 and H 2 PO 4 - are found in very low concentration in the blood.
