Artificial Interstitial Cardiac Fluid – Synthetic Heart-Tissue Interstitial Fluid for Cardiac Research, pH 7.4 BZ426
Product Code: BZ426
Manufacturer: Biochemazone
Available Pack Sizes: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L
Custom Bulk Quantities Available
Product Overview
Biochemazone Artificial Interstitial Cardiac Fluid BZ426, also called synthetic interstitial cardiac fluid, is a ready-to-use synthetic solution designed to replicate the properties of natural interstitial cardiac fluid, at pH 7.4. It contains water, electrolytes, proteins and other relevant molecules, which mimic the physical and chemical characteristics of the natural fluid. The pH of natural interstitial cardiac fluid is about 7.3 to 7.5; the standard formulation is set at 7.4. Its viscosity and density are matched to the natural fluid, and it stays stable through the test.
Research laboratories use it to study the interaction between cardiac tissues and the interstitial fluid environment, and in diagnostic tests and experimental set-ups that measure biomarkers and fluid properties, to gain insight into cardiac function and fluid dynamics. It is also used to test and calibrate medical devices that interact with cardiac interstitial fluid, such as diagnostic tools and monitoring equipment, in the development of new technologies and procedures, and in training, without the need for actual interstitial fluid.
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. Because it contains protein, keep it at 2–8 °C if it is to be stored for a long time. 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 the fluid around the heart see Simulated Pericardial Fluid (BZ288); for the general interstitial fluid see Simulated Interstitial Fluid (BZ254).
