Artificial Eccrine Perspiration

ARTIFICIAL SWEAT

Product Number: NCZ-APS-0011

Packaging: 100 mL to 1000 mL

Artificial Eccrine Perspiration we offer is a ready-to-use solution and is the closest mimic to true human eccrine sweat. It consists of nineteen amino acids, the seven most abundant minerals, and the four most abundant metabolites at a pH of 4.5. All concentrations closely match experimentally determined values for adult human eccrine sweat.

The stabilized solution is preserved with a fungicide and bactericide for two years of shelf life at room temperature. The non-stabilized product is kept frozen and has a shelf life of one year.

Note: Custom formulations at varying pH (2-9) can be made as either the stabilized or non- stabilized solutions.

The stabilized version has a preservative that prevents microbial growth and can then be stored at room temperature. The not stabilized version has no preservative and must be kept frozen until you intend to use it. You may need this version if you are testing a product that claims to prevent microbial growth or odor from perspiration. Our Artificial Eccrine Perspiration normally comes at pH 4.5, however, we can make it custom from pH 2.0 – 9.0.

Simulated Saliva Applications:

Makers of smartwatches, high-performance textiles, biosensors, heads-up displays, and fitness monitors all have one thing in common – the need to test their products for quality assurance. Personal electronics and wearable technology manufacturers perform sweat testing on materials including touch screens, watchbands, keyboards, eyeglasses, and any other product material or surface that would benefit from guaranteed reproducible results with artificial perspiration. By using artificial eccrine perspiration, our customers are able to save time and ensure the same repeatable results anywhere, anytime.

Artificial Saliva

Product Number: NCZ-APS-0012

Packaging: 100 mL to 1000 mL

We provide several formulations of artificial saliva based on official testing methods as well as published scientific data. To increase the stability of some products during storage, several artificial saliva formulations come as 2-part formulations that need to be combined before use. Custom formulations to accommodate specific pH or ingredient requirements are also available upon request.

Simulated Saliva Applications:

For testing of products for corrosion, colorfastness, and discoloration

For testing biodegradability of dental metal alloys

To determine colorfastness of products intended to be taken into the mouth

ARTIFICIAL SALIVA FOR PHARMACEUTICAL RESEARCH

Artificial Saliva is formulated according to literature for pharmaceutical research such as studies of drug dissolution and drug delivery through the oral mucosa. This is ready to use formulation that should be stored refrigerated. The pH of the solution is 6.8.

ARTIFICIAL SALIVA FOR MEDICAL AND DENTAL RESEARCH

This Artificial Saliva is formulated according to literature references for medical and dental research. This formulation has a similar composition to commercially available products used to treat dry mouth and other conditions. This ready-to-use solution contains Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose to increase the viscosity of the solution and make it behave similarly to natural human saliva. This formulation can be stored at room temperature and has a pH of 6.8. This solution is only intended for product testing and research, and not for medical use.

Artificial Saliva is formulated to Test Products for Colorfastness and Biodegradability of Dental Metal Alloys

Artificial Urine

Product Number: NCZ-APS-0014

Artificial Urine for Corrosion Testing of Urological Implants, Stabilize

Artificial is designed for testing metallic biomaterials used to produce urological implants and catheters. This convenient product is a ready-to-use solution. Artificial Urine formulation contains a non-toxic preservatives to avoid bacteria growth and can be stored at room temperature. The pH of the final solution is 6.0.
