10X Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) for Blotting
Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is an isotonic solution that is used in many biological research applications. This 10X PBS recipe contains 1.37 M NaCl, 27 mM KCl, 100 mM Na2HPO4, and 18 mM KH2PO4. To make 1 L of 10X PBS stock solution, combine 17.8 g of Na2HPO4, 2.4 g of KH2PO4, 80 g of NaCl, 2 g of KCl, and adjust final volume to 1 L.
This recipe calculator enables the accurate preparation of 10X PBS for any millimeter volume. Input your desired volume, click the CALCULATE button, and the table will populate with the amounts of each component needed.
10X Solution concentrations:
- NaCl: 1.37 M
- KCl: 27 mM
- Na2HPO4: 100 mM
- KH2PO4: 18 mM
1 L Recipe | Desired Volume: mL |
17.8 g of Na2HPO4 • 2H2O (FW 177.99) (71643) | g of Na2HPO4 • 2H2O |
2.4 g of KH2PO4 (FW 136.09) (P9791) | g of KH2PO4 |
80 g of NaCl (FW 58.44) (71376) | g of NaCl |
2 g of KCl (FW 74.55) (P9541) | g of KCl |

The pH of the 10X stock will be approximately 6.8, but when diluted to 1x PBS the pH should change to 7.4. When making buffer solutions, it is good practice to measure the pH using a pH meter. If necessary, the pH can be adjusted using hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. |
