Product overview
Name | Sucrose aCSF Instant Powder (packets) |
Biological description | Sucrose artificial cerebrospinal fluid (sucrose - aCSF) is a widely used buffer as a protective cutting solution when making acute ex-vivo brain slices for electrophysiology experiments. This kit contains 10 instant powder packets. Simply add each packet to 1L of dH2O, mix and bubble with carbogen to make 1L of sucrose aCSF at physiological pH. Â Key features:
Contains (in mM): Sucrose 65, NaCl 85, Glucose 10, NaHCO3 25, KCl 2.5, NaH2PO4 1.25, CaCl2 0.5, MgCl2 7 |
Description | Preformulated instant powder packets to make sucrose artificial cerebrospinal fluid (sucrose - aCSF) |
