Sample Dilution and Resuspension: Isotonic diluent for serial dilutions and resuspension of cells and microbes (e.g., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) without causing osmotic stress.

Cell Washing (Flow Cytometry/Imaging): Gentle wash to remove media, serum, or dyes while maintaining cell integrity prior to analysis.

Microbiology Inoculum Preparation: Used to prepare standardized suspensions (e.g., 0.5 McFarland) for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and colony picking of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus.

Specimen Transport and Swab Elution: Sterile medium for eluting and transporting clinical and environmental swabs, including samples containing Salmonella enterica or Escherichia coli.

Reconstitution of Lyophilized Materials: Dissolves and brings lyophilized standards, controls, and reagents to volume without introducing buffering components.

Assay Blank and Control: Serves as an inert isotonic control for background measurements and matrix-matched blanks in biochemical assays.

Osmotic Fragility and RBC Handling: Provides an isotonic environment for red blood cell handling and control conditions in osmotic fragility workups.

Wound and Device Irrigation (Sterile): Sterile rinse for general irrigation and flushing of instruments or collection devices in clinical and laboratory settings.

Tissue and Organ Rinse: Rinses biopsies or tissues to remove blood and contaminants prior to downstream processing.

Colony Suspension for Downstream Analyses: Suspends single colonies (e.g., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) for rapid tests such as colony PCR setup, MALDI-TOF, or biochemical identification.
