Product Overview
Biochemazone Artificial Cerumen (Not Stabilized) BZ171, also called synthetic earwax, simulated cerumen or artificial ear wax, is a light yellow, sterile synthetic earwax that can be used directly. Cerumen is the waxy substance secreted in the ear canal: it protects and lubricates the canal and helps to clean it by trapping dirt and dead skin cells.
BZ171 is used for testing hearing aids, earbuds and other electronic devices that are meant to be used in the ears, and for testing ear-care products and cleaning methods. Its main components are oleic acid, linoleic acid, anhydrous lanolin, palmitic acid, myristic acid and paraffin oils. It is offered in two versions – Liquid, sold by volume (50 mL, 100 mL, 200 mL), and Semi-Solid (Waxy), sold by weight (50 g, 100 g, 200 g); choose the version in the Version menu when ordering.
This version is not stabilized and contains no preservative; the stabilized version is Artificial Cerumen (Stabilized) BZ172. Unopened, it has a 1-year shelf life at 2–30 °C and is shipped at room temperature. This product is for scientific research and in vitro use only; it is not for clinical diagnosis or treatment. For the veterinary product see Synthetic Canine Cerumen BZ672.
