Artificial Mucus Powder Version Kit (Preservative Free) – BZ509
Product Code: BZ509
Manufacturer: Biochemazone™
Available Pack Sizes: 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 L (Reconstituted Volume)
Product Overview
Biochemazone™ Artificial Mucus BZ509 is a laboratory-formulated, physiologically relevant synthetic mucus designed to closely mimic the rheological, chemical, and physical properties of human nasal or respiratory mucus. This ready-to-use or reconstitutable formulation enables in vitro testing, drug delivery research, mucociliary clearance studies, and microbiological investigations involving mucosal environments.
BZ509 is ideal for creating reproducible experimental conditions without the variability and safety concerns associated with human samples. The composition can be customized for nasal, bronchial, gastrointestinal, or cervicovaginal mucus applications, making it a versatile medium for biomedical research and product testing.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Physiologically Relevant – Accurately simulates human mucus in viscosity, pH, and composition
✅ Non-Hazardous & Biocompatible – Safe, non-toxic, latex-free formulation
✅ Customizable – Available in different viscosities and mucin concentrations
✅ Reproducible – Minimizes variability associated with natural mucus samples
✅ Sterile or Non-Sterile Options – Suitable for microbiology or materials testing
✅ Preservative-Free Version Available – Ideal for sensitive assays or microbial studies
