Tyrode's solution
Tyrode's solution is a solution used in scientific research, particularly in the field of physiology. It is named after the French physiologist, Maurice_Victor_Tyrode, who first introduced it in the early 20th century.
Pronunciation
Tyrode's solution is pronounced as "tie-road's solution".
Etymology
The term "Tyrode's solution" is derived from the name of its inventor, Maurice_Victor_Tyrode, a French physiologist. The term "solution" refers to a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).
Composition
Tyrode's solution is an aqueous solution that contains a balanced salt composition. It is similar to the extracellular fluid found in most animals and is used to maintain cells in vitro. The solution typically contains the following components: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, sodium phosphate, and glucose.
Uses
Tyrode's solution is commonly used in scientific research, particularly in the field of physiology. It is used to maintain the physiological pH and osmotic pressure in cells during in vitro experiments. It is also used in the isolation and culture of cells, and in the study of cell physiology and pharmacology.
