Artificial Wharton’s Jelly – Synthetic Umbilical Cord Matrix for Stem Cell and Tissue Engineering Research, pH 7.4 BZ420
Product Code: BZ420
Manufacturer: Biochemazone
Available Pack Sizes: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L
Custom Bulk Quantities Available
Product Overview
Biochemazone Artificial Wharton’s Jelly BZ420, also called simulated Wharton’s jelly, is a ready-to-use synthetic solution designed to mimic the properties of natural Wharton’s jelly, at pH 7.4. It contains water, electrolytes, proteins and extracellular matrix elements, which replicate the physical and chemical properties of the natural material. The pH of natural Wharton’s jelly is about 7.35 to 7.45; the standard formulation is set at 7.4. Its viscosity and density are matched to the natural material, and it stays stable through the test.
Wharton’s jelly is the gelatinous tissue of the umbilical cord. Research laboratories use BZ420 to study the interaction between the extracellular matrix and the cellular environment, including stem cell biology and tissue engineering, and in tests that measure cellular behaviour and extracellular matrix properties. It is also used to test and calibrate devices that interact with extracellular matrix components, such as tissue engineering scaffolds and stem cell delivery systems, in the development of regenerative-medicine technologies, and in training, without the need for human tissue.
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 interstitial fluid see Simulated Interstitial Fluid (BZ254); for the extracellular fluid see Simulated Extracellular Fluid (BZ280).
