What's In A Goat Name. When we get a new goat, either by one being born on our farm, or if we purchase one, a lot of thought goes into naming him or her. We have had a few that came with names that we kept, but mostly even purchased ones had no name. Sometimes it will take several days of observing the goat before a name is chosen. Observing your new goat for a few days will give you a lot of insight into their unique personality. Each one of my goats has their own quirks and habits. Some like their backs scratched, some like to be scratched right between the horns.
Phosphate buffered saline (abbreviated as PBS) is a buffer solution commonly used in biological research. It is a salty solution containing sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, and (in some formulations) potassium chloride and potassium phosphate. The buffer helps to maintain a constant pH. The osmolarity and ion concentrations of the solution usually match those of the human body (isotonic).
PBS - Phosphate-Buffered Saline. Take the uncertainty out of cell culture: use only Gibcoâ¢ PBS buffers for your research. Gibco PBS is always manufactured in cGMP, ISO-certified facilities to ensure the highest quality and consistency. All Gibco phosphate-buffered salines contain monobasic potassium phosphate, sodium chloride, and dibasic sodium phosphate. Gibco PBS is available in multiple formulations and formats to meet your specific needs, including calcium and magnesium free versions for washing cells prior to trypsinization.
