Serum Diluent – BZ517
Product Code: BZ517
Manufacturer: Biochemazone
Available Pack Sizes: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L
Custom Bulk Quantities Available
Product Overview
Biochemazone Serum Diluent BZ517 is a precisely formulated, buffered aqueous solution designed to simulate the ionic strength, pH, and protein-free matrix conditions of mammalian serum. It is intended for dilution, stabilization, and matrix matching of serum samples in laboratory workflows.
BZ517 is commonly used in clinical chemistry, immunoassay development, calibration preparation, quality control, and analytical validation studies, where consistent dilution without analyte interference is critical. The formulation provides a stable, reproducible, and non-biological alternative to native serum or albumin-containing diluents.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Physiological Serum pH – Buffered to ~7.0–7.4, consistent with normal mammalian serum conditions (widely cited in clinical chemistry and IVD standards)
✅ Protein-Free Matrix – Minimizes background interference in immunoassays and analytical measurements
✅ Reproducible & Standardized – Eliminates lot-to-lot variability seen with biological sera
✅ Assay-Compatible – Suitable for ELISA, CLIA, enzymatic assays, and spectrophotometric methods
✅ Ready-to-Use – Pre-formulated and quality controlled for immediate laboratory use
✅ Customizable Composition – Ionic strength, Proteins, Amino acids, buffering system, and non-preservative options available
