The concept of a "physiological salt solution," based upon the ionic composition of the blood plasma, is one of the foundations on which chemically defined media for cell and tissue culture have been built. "Physiological salt solutions" originated in the 1880's with the English physiologist Sydney Ringer (1-5) as media for the study of contractions in isolated amphibian heart and leg muscles. Improvements, including adaptations for mammalian tissues, and the addition of glucose and buffers, were made by Locke (6-8) and others (9-11). The idea behind the development of these solutions was imitation of the natural environment of the tissue, to secure minimal trauma and maximal maintenance of function in the isolated preparations. To grow cells in culture, sometimes for months or years, demands more exacting conditions than to keep a heart beating, or a section of intestine in peristalsis (9), for an hour or so. It has been one of the goals of many students of cells in vitro, starting with the Lewises (12, 13), to perfect chemically defined media capable of supporting the growth, function, and (where appropriate) the differentiation of all kinds of cells and tissues. Most of the early attempts in this direction were made on the imitative principle; that is, the chemical compositions of media have been based upon, or have evolved from, analyses of blood or other biological fluids (Waymouth, 14, 15). A combination of empirical and imitative approaches led, also, the the development of several "physiological solutions" designed especially for tissue culture. Those of Gey and Gey (16), Earle (17) and Hanks (18, 19) have been widely used and are the salt and glucose bases of several standard media (see Waymouth, 15, 20).
