Artificial aCSF (BZ540): Description
aCSF Instant Powder (BZ540) is a high-quality laboratory-formulated synthetic cerebrospinal fluid system designed to replicate the ionic composition and physiological properties of human cerebrospinal fluid. The formulation contains precisely balanced concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bicarbonate precursors, and glucose-forming components to simulate neural extracellular fluid conditions after reconstitution.
It is widely used in neurophysiology research, brain slice experiments, electrophysiology studies, neural tissue perfusion systems, and pharmaceutical testing involving central nervous system models.
Storage and Transportation
Store aCSF Instant Powder in tightly sealed containers at room temperature (15–25 °C) in a dry environment. Avoid exposure to humidity, heat, and direct sunlight to prevent caking or degradation of components. The product is stable for long-term storage when kept dry. Transport under standard ambient conditions.
Usage Restrictions
This product is strictly intended for research and in vitro laboratory use only. It must be handled by trained professionals in controlled laboratory environments. It is not intended for clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, or human/animal application.
Safety Precautions
Standard laboratory safety practices must be followed, including gloves, lab coat, and eye protection. Avoid inhalation of powder and direct contact with eyes or skin. In case of accidental exposure, rinse thoroughly with water. Dispose of waste according to institutional chemical safety guidelines.
