Tyrode's solution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tyrode's solution is a solution that is roughly isotonic with interstitial fluid and used in physiological experiments and tissue culture. It resembles Lactated Ringer's solution, but contains magnesium, a sugar (usually glucose) as an energy source and uses bicarbonate and/or HEPES as a buffer instead of lactate. Some variations also include phosphate and sulfate ions.
