CMA Perfusion Fluid

NEW! CNS PERFUSION FLUID WITH DEXTRAN

CMA Perfusion Fluids are isotonic sterile perfusion fluids specially developed for microdialylsis use. Two types are available: T1 fluid for use in peripheral tissues and CNS fluid for use in studies of the central nervous system.

The CNS perfusion fluid can be provided with or without Dextran. The Perfusion Fluid CNS with Dextran is recommended for limiting the loss of perfusion fluid into the CNS tissues, especially when using high cut-off probes (55 and 100 kDa cut-off) in rats and mice. For more details, see the corresponding Datasheet "Perfusion Fluid with Dextran for Microdialysis" in the Related Files section.

They are conveniently packed in glass ampoules of 5 ml, ready to use.
