Price range: $17.00 through $45.00

Physiological Saline Solution (PHSS) for Skeletal Muscle Function, Sterile BZ474

Product Code: BZ474
Manufacturer: Biochemazone
Available Pack Sizes: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L
Custom Bulk Quantities Available

Product Overview

Biochemazone Physiological Saline Solution for Skeletal Muscle BZ474 is a sterile, ready-to-use salt solution that replicates the ionic composition of extracellular fluid. Alongside sodium chloride it contains calcium, potassium and magnesium – the ions skeletal muscle needs for normal excitation and contraction – at a physiological pH of 7.4 ± 0.2.

It is designed to keep isolated skeletal muscle viable and responsive in vitro and ex vivo: for contraction, relaxation and fatigue studies, electrophysiological recordings, pharmacological testing and short-term preservation of excised muscle tissue.

Each batch is prepared with ISO 3696 compliant high-purity water under Biochemazone’s ISO 9001 / GMP quality system.

Frequently asked questions

What is this solution used for?

For keeping isolated skeletal muscles viable and responsive during ex vivo contraction, fatigue, electrophysiology and pharmacology experiments.

Does it contain glucose or bicarbonate?

The standard version is a salt solution with sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Glucose, bicarbonate or HEPES can be added on request for long organ-bath experiments.

At what temperature should I run experiments?

Isolated rodent muscles are often studied at 25–37 °C. Follow your protocol and keep the temperature constant.

How is it different from 0.9% saline?

Plain saline has only sodium chloride. This solution adds potassium, calcium and magnesium, which muscles need to contract and relax normally.

How should it be stored?

Store at 2–30 °C, tightly closed. Unopened bottles have a 1-year shelf life and ship at room temperature.
