Tyrode solution
The Tyrode solution is a solution of electrolytes in physiological composition in water. The name goes back to the American pharmacologist Maurice Vejux Tyrode (1878–1930).
composition
The composition is as follows:
| substance | Concentration (g / L) | Molar concentration (mM) |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium chloride (NaCl, table salt) | 8.00 | 134 |
| Potassium chloride (KCl) | 0.20 | 2.68 |
| Calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ) | 0.20 | 1.8 |
| Magnesium chloride (MgCl 2 ) | 0.10 | 1.05 |
| Sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH 2 PO 4 ) | 0.05 | 0.417 |
| Sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO 3 ) | 1.00 | 11.9 |
| glucose | 1.00 | 5.56 |
The pH of the solution is 6.6.
use
The Tyrode solution is used as a diluent in cell and tissue culture. In veterinary medicine, it can be used as a drinking water substitute for kidney diseases , for example in budgies.
The Tyrode solution can be stored in the refrigerator for three to four days.
