SputoLytix™ SD-50
(Artificial Sputum Diluent for Research & Product Testing)

Sputum Diluent is a synthetic formulation engineered to closely mimic the physical, biochemical, and rheological properties of human sputum. It is specifically designed for diluting, processing, and standardizing sputum samples in microbiological, pharmaceutical, and biomedical research applications.
Pack Size: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1000 mL
pH: 6.5 to 8.0 (customizable based on project requirements)
Validity: 6 months
Transportation and Storage: Transport at room temperature; store at 2–8 °C.

Sputum Diluent Features and Notes:

1. Formulated to replicate the viscosity, mucin content, and ionic composition of human sputum for consistent performance.
2. Sterile and ready-to-use for sample dilution, homogenization, and experimental standardization.
3. Stable at 4 °C with no loss of physical or chemical integrity over shelf life.
4. For research use only. Not for clinical, pharmaceutical, or food applications. Not suitable for household use.
5. Always handle with lab-appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety goggles.
