Simulated Lung Fluid – Sterile Artificial Lung Fluid for Pulmonary Drug Delivery and Particle Inhalation Studies, pH 7.4 BZ179
Product Code: BZ179
Manufacturer: Biochemazone
Available Pack Sizes: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L
Custom Bulk Quantities Available
Product Overview
Biochemazone Simulated Lung Fluid BZ179, also called artificial lung fluid or synthetic lung fluid, is a sterile, ready-to-use solution that simulates the composition and pH of lung fluid. It can be used directly and is supplied at pH 7.4; the pH can be customized.
In this formulation citrate is used instead of proteins, to avoid foaming, and acetate is used instead of organic acids. BZ179 is used in pulmonary drug delivery studies and in studies of the effects of inhaled particles, and it is used to simulate different lung conditions. Other simulated lung fluid formulations are available on request.
Unopened, it has a 1-year shelf life at 2–30 °C and is shipped at room temperature; a preservative-free version and a dried Powder Version Kit are available on request. The pH and the formulation can be customized. This simulated fluid is for scientific research and in vitro use only; it is not for clinical diagnosis or treatment.
