Question
What is the difference between Hank's and Earle's salts?
Answer
Hank's salts are designed for atmospheric equilibration. Earle's salts are designed for the bicarbonate/carbonic acid system commonly used in media. Earle's salts rely on the equilibration of gaseous and liquid carbon dioxide to maintain pH in a carbon dioxide equilibrated incubator.
