Product Code: BZ280
Manufacturer: Biochemazone
Available Pack Sizes: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L
Custom Bulk Quantities Available
Product Overview
Biochemazone Simulated Extracellular Fluid BZ280, also called artificial extracellular fluid or synthetic extracellular fluid, is a sterile, ready-to-use solution that simulates the composition and pH of extracellular fluid. It is supplied at pH 7.4, and the pH can be customized to the project requirement.
Extracellular fluid is the term for the fluids that exist outside the cells of an organism but within its body cavities and vessels. Blood plasma is the extracellular fluid of the circulatory system. Oxygen and nutrients pass from the capillaries into the interstitial fluid, which surrounds most of the cells of the body, lets them use those nutrients and carries wastes back to the blood. Transcellular fluid, found in the eye, the joints and the cerebrospinal fluid, is the third kind. BZ280 gives laboratories an extracellular fluid of constant composition for in vitro research.
It is supplied stabilized and has a 1-year shelf life unopened; a preservative-free version (6-month shelf life) and a dried Powder Version Kit are available on request. The formulation, minerals, organic content and pH can be customized. This simulated fluid is for scientific research and in vitro use only; it is not for clinical diagnosis or treatment. For interstitial fluid see Simulated Interstitial Fluid (BZ254); for transcellular fluid see Simulated Transcellular Fluid (BZ279); for the fluid inside the cell see Artificial Cytosolic Fluid BZ495.
