Product Code: BZ348
Manufacturer: Biochemazone
Available Pack Sizes: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L
Custom Bulk Quantities Available
Product Overview
Biochemazone Artificial Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) BZ348, also called simulated gingival crevicular fluid, is a sterile, ready-to-use solution that simulates the composition and pH of human gingival crevicular fluid. It can be used directly and is supplied at pH 7.5; the stabilizer, pH and contents can be customized.
Gingival crevicular fluid is an inflammatory exudate derived from the periodontal tissues. Fluid from this region is collected by swab, aspirate or wash. BZ348 gives laboratories a gingival crevicular fluid of constant composition for dental research, for example as a matrix in in vitro work on the detection of bacterial and viral pathogens for periodontal disease testing.
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 stabilizer, pH and contents can be customized to the project. This simulated fluid is for scientific research and in vitro use only; it is not for clinical diagnosis or treatment. For saliva see Artificial Saliva for Swab Testing BZ514; for the throat see Artificial Oropharyngeal Fluid (BZ347).
