Saline (0.9%) is a sterile isotonic solution used as a diluent or carrier in laboratory experiments. It is ideal for cell culture applications, acting as a stabilizing solution for cells and tissues. The solution maintains osmotic balance, making it suitable for various biological and chemical processes. It is also used in the preparation of laboratory reagents and buffers.
