👉 Preparing fluid, often referred to as a carrier or diluent, is a crucial component in various laboratory and medical procedures. It serves to dissolve and stabilize substances such as drugs, enzymes, or other bioactive compounds, making them suitable for administration or analysis. Typically, preparing fluid is isotonic with the biological sample to prevent cellular damage due to osmotic shock. Common examples include water, saline solutions, and specialized buffer solutions like phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The choice of preparing fluid depends on the specific application, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance in processes like injections, assays, or cell culture.
