Artificial Saliva for Swab Testing – BZ514
Product Code: BZ514
Manufacturer: Biochemazone™
Available Pack Sizes: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L
Custom Bulk Quantities Available
Product Overview
Biochemazone™ Artificial Saliva for Swab Testing BZ514 is a laboratory-formulated, sterile simulant of human saliva. Designed for research, diagnostic device testing, and quality control, this solution replicates the pH, viscosity, ionic composition, and protein profile of natural saliva—without any biological hazards.
The fluid is non-toxic, biocompatible, and sterile-filtered, making it ideal for benchtop experiments, calibration of swab-based assays, and testing of point-of-care diagnostic devices under controlled conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Sterile & Ready-to-Use – Filtered under sterile conditions; no additional preparation required
✅ Physiologically Relevant – Mimics key biochemical and physical properties of natural saliva
✅ Safe & Non-Biological – Free from cells, pathogens, safe for laboratory handling
✅ Consistent & Reproducible – Reliable composition ensures experimental accuracy and repeatability
✅ Customizable Formulations – Tailor pH, viscosity, ionic strength, and analyte concentrations on request
