The Artificial Saliva products are prepared according to either DIN 53160, AFNOR NF S91-141, or the FUSAYAMA/MEYER Artificial Saliva formulations for testing of dental metal alloys and colorfastness of oral products.
- Testing of products for colorfastness and biodegradability of dental metal alloys
Fusayama/Meyer artificial saliva is a ready-to-use solution closely resembles the mineral composition of natural saliva and is the most common media used for testing dental metal alloys
AFNOR NF S91-141 artificial saliva is for testing biodegradability of dental metal alloys. This artificial saliva is prepared according to AFNOR NF S91-141 standard procedure and is intended for testing biodegradability of dental metal alloys. The formulation consists of two parts that are mixed right before use. This minimizes changes in the solution during storage and allows for a longer shelf life. The pH of the solution after mixing is 7.8 +/- 0.1. The Artificial Saliva should be stored refrigerated both before and after mixing. Premixed, ready-to-use solution is available upon request.
DIN 53160-1:2010-10 artificial saliva is for determination of colorfastness of products intended to be taken into the mouth. This artificial saliva is prepared according to DIN 53160-1:2010-10 standard procedure. DIN 53160 specifies the method to determine colorfastness of products intended to be taken into the mouth. The formulation consists of two parts that are mixed right before use. This minimizes changes in the solution during storage and allows for a longer shelf life. The solution should be stored refrigerated both before and after mixing. The pH of the solution after mixing is 6.8 +/- 0.1.
This formulation is at pH 4.9+/- 0.1 and should be stored refrigerated. Custom formulations at different pH are available.
Ordering information: Custom formulations at different pH are available; contact your Avantor representative for more information.
Caution: These products do not have a preservative and should be kept refrigerated.
