ACSF (Artificial Cerebrospinal Fluid)
Chemical Name: Artificial cerebrospinal fluid
Biological Activity
Artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) is commonly used to maintain the oxygen supply, osmolarity and buffer pH of isolated neurons and brain slices in electrophysiology experiments. ACSF closely matches the electrolyte concentrations of cerebrospinal fluid and is prepared from high purity water and analytical grade reagents. Microfiltered and sterile. Final ion concentrations (in mM): Na+ 150; K+ 3.0; Ca2+ 1.4; Mg2+ 0.8; P 1.0; Cl- 155.Technical Data
The technical data provided above is for guidance only.
For batch specific data refer to the Certificate of Analysis.
Tocris products are intended for laboratory research use only, unless stated otherwise.
