The role of CO2 in maintaining pH - (Sep/25/2006 )
I'm new in cell culturing and i need to do alot of read up.. Does anyone have a good website that shows how CO2 maintains the cell pH in the CO2 incubator. Or maybe any good cell cultures website. Thanks

CO2 + H20 <=> H2CO3 <=> H+ + HCO3-
CO2 maintains the pH because H2CO3/HCO3- is a buffer system.
