Biological fluids are all the liquids in the body that help transport nutrients and remove waste from cells. Common examples include blood, saliva, semen, vaginal fluids, mucus, and urine, although many other biological fluids exist.
Main Types of Biological Fluids
There are three primary categories of biological fluids: intravascular, interstitial, and intracellular. Extracellular fluid refers to the fluids located outside cells, which include intravascular fluid (blood plasma), interstitial fluid, lymph, and transcellular fluid. Interstitial fluid, filling the spaces between cells, is the most abundant, whereas transcellular fluid, located in the chambers formed by epithelial linings, is the least abundant. Intracellular fluid is the fluid contained within the cells themselves.
Our Range of Biological Fluids
We provide a comprehensive selection of biological fluids sourced from multiple species to support diverse research applications. If the specific fluid you need is not available in our catalog, we can still supply it through our custom service. By specifying your criteria, including fluid type, species, and other characteristics, we can provide biological fluids tailored to your research requirements.
