10X PBS

[sudheer sangeetham]

Hi People

I have few doubts regarding phosphte buffer saline (PBS). Recently I found
one article related to my work, in that they used PBS ( Nacl/iP ) pH-7.4.
Nacl/iP does it mean, it should contain Na2HP04 and NaH2PO4 and Nacl but
not KCl, am I right?

I have prepared the buffer like this

NaH2PO4 ( 0.038M)
Na2HPO4.2H20 ( 0.162M)
NaCl (1.5 M ) but when i check the pH it was showing 6.4, is it correct?
did I do any mistake....

Could any one please tell me did i do any mistake?

Thank you in advance
