Available Pack Sizes: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L
Custom Bulk Quantities Available
Product Overview
Biochemazone Simulated Vitreous Humor BZ277, also called artificial vitreous humor or synthetic vitreous humor, is a sterile, ready-to-use solution that simulates the composition and pH of the vitreous humor of the eye. It is supplied at pH 7.4, and the pH can be customized to the project requirement.
The vitreous humor is a transparent, colourless, gelatinous mass that fills the space in the eye between the lens and the retina. It is surrounded by a layer of collagen called the vitreous membrane (also the hyaloid membrane or vitreous cortex), which separates it from the rest of the eye, and it makes up four-fifths of the volume of the eyeball. It is fluid-like near the centre and gel-like near the edges. BZ277 gives laboratories a vitreous humor of constant composition for ocular in vitro research.
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. 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 the gel see Artificial Vitreous Humor Gel BZ519; for the dry kit see Simulated Vitreous Humor Powder Version BZ558; for the aqueous humour see Artificial Aqueous Humour Fluid (BZ276).

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the vitreous humor found?
It fills the space between the lens and the retina and makes up four-fifths of the volume of the eyeball. The fluid of the front chambers of the eye is the aqueous humour; for that see Artificial Aqueous Humour Fluid (BZ276).
How long does the solution keep?
Unopened, the stabilized solution has a 1-year shelf life at 2–30 °C. A preservative-free version with a 6-month shelf life and a dried Powder Version Kit with a 2-year shelf life are available on request.
