Description of ACSF

ACSF is often used as replacement of CSF for perfusion of brain slices to preserve interneurons [1].
ACSF (artificial cerebrospinal fluid) is invented to reduce the incidence of cerebral edema and further suppress brain cell disorders. And ACSF is often used as an irrigation fluid or perfusion fluid in the field of neurosurgery, such as intracranial surgery, or when used as a replenishing fluid for lost cerebrospinal fluid. ACSF is also used to maintain pH balance and tissue oxygen delivery for research [2, 3].
ACSF is often used to maintain oxygen supply in the study of basic characteristics of neuronal function where acute in vitro brain slice models are required. When tested with neocortical mouse slices, carbogenated ACSF treatment could keep pH balance and tissue oxygen delivery; otherwise, seizure-like events were occurred in the slices with no-magnesium ACSF treatment [1]. In the study of targeted drugs for protect neuron, ACSF is often to treat the mice and worked as a control to calculate the drug efficiency [3]
It is also reported in the rat brain slice model, treated with ACSF, a replacement of human CSF, could powerfully boost spontaneous firing of CA1, CA3 and layer 5 pyramidal neurons [4].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL saline, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
