Tyrode's Solution

Background

Balanced Salt Solution (Physiological Solution) have the properties of buffer solution (regulate pH), normal saline (maintain osmotic pressure) and culture medium (provide nutrition). It can meet the basic needs of survival and metabolism of tissues, organs or cells in vitro. A small amount of phenolic red was added to some equilibrium salt solutions to indicate the pH change of the solution. Tyrode's solution is a kind of balanced salt solution in biochemistry. The main components are NaCl, KCl, NaH2PO4, MgCl2, CaCl2, NaHCO3 and glucose. Tyrode's solution is often used for perfusion and tissue cleaning in the body of mammals, and is especially suitable for isolated constant-muscle experiments to maintain the normal physiological function of isolated enteromuscles.
