Sodium bicarbonate is commonly used as a pH buffering agent, an electrolyte replenisher, systemic alkalizer and in topical cleansing solutions. Sodium Bicarbonate is buffer commonly used for maintaining the pH of cell culture medium in the presence of 4–10% carbon dioxide. In addition to buffering, sodium bicarbonate provides some nutritional benefit, while rarely displaying any cell toxicity.
