Simulated Nasal Fluid for Mucosal Interaction Studies – ISO 10993-12 Compliant
Testonic® Artificial Nasal Fluid (SNF) is a simulated nasal secretion solution developed in accordance with ISO 10993-12 to evaluate the interaction of nasal sprays, drug delivery systems, and inhalation devices with the nasal mucosa. It mimics the ionic composition, pH, and light viscosity of human nasal mucus, offering a reliable medium for dissolution, permeability, and bioavailability testing.
Application Areas
-
In vitro evaluation of nasal sprays and mucosal contact formulations
-
Performance testing of nasal interfaces in inhalation devices
-
Dissolution, particle transport, and nasal absorption simulations
-
Bioavailability and drug release profiling under nasal conditions
-
Compatibility and pre-screening of mucosal formulations
