Description: Artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) for electrophysiology; sterile and microfiltered
Chemical Name: Artificial cerebrospinal fluid
Biological Activity for ACSF (Artificial Cerebrospinal Fluid)
Artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) is commonly used to maintain the oxygen supply, osmolarity and buffer pH of isolated neurons and brain slices in electrophysiology experiments. ACSF closely matches the electrolyte concentrations of cerebrospinal fluid and is prepared from high purity water and analytical grade reagents. Microfiltered and sterile. Final ion concentrations (in mM): Na+ 150; K+ 3.0; Ca2+ 1.4; Mg2+ 0.8; P 1.0; Cl- 155.

We use aCSF to infuse drugs into the brain. We usually dissolve the different drugs that we infuse in aCSF and then use aCSF infusions as a control
