Artificial Sublingual Saliva – Synthetic Saliva of the Sublingual Region, pH 6.7 BZ432
Product Code: BZ432
Manufacturer: Biochemazone
Available Pack Sizes: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L
Custom Bulk Quantities Available
Product Overview
Biochemazone Artificial Sublingual Saliva BZ432 is a ready-to-use synthetic solution designed to mimic the saliva under the tongue. It contains the components that give natural sublingual saliva its physical and chemical properties – water, electrolytes, proteins and mucin – at a default pH of 6.7, within the range of natural saliva (about 6.2 to 7.6). The sublingual glands secrete a mucin-rich saliva, and BZ432 reproduces that viscous character.
BZ432 is used in research on the interaction between saliva and the oral environment, including oral health and digestive function; for sublingual drug-delivery studies, where a tablet, film or spray has to dissolve in the small volume of saliva under the tongue; for testing and calibrating medical devices and diagnostics that work with saliva; and for training and education without the need for human saliva.
It is supplied not stabilized and preservative-free, with a 6-month shelf life unopened; a stabilized version is available on request and has a 1-year shelf life. The pH and the formulation can be customized. Because it contains proteins and mucin, keep it at 2–8 °C if it is to be stored for a long time. For dissolution in the whole mouth see Simulated Salivary Fluids (SSF) BZ327; for pharmaceutical saliva see BZ108; for saliva with mucin see Artificial Saliva Mucin Added.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is sublingual saliva different from whole saliva?
It is the secretion of the glands under the tongue and is richer in mucin, so it is more viscous. BZ432 reproduces that; for whole-mouth saliva use a general artificial saliva.
How should BZ432 be stored?
Store it at 2–30 °C; for prolonged storage, 2–8 °C is best for the proteins and mucin. It is shipped at room temperature. Unopened, the not-stabilized solution has a 6-month shelf life.
Ordering Information
BZ432 is available in standard laboratory sizes or OEM/bulk supply formats.
