MyBioSource is the leading collector and distributor of human biological fluids and tissues for protein isolation, manufacturing and medical research. Our laboratory is equipped to handle specific requests for isolation of cells, proteins, pooling requirements or specific aliquots of biological specimens. A brief breakdown of our donor collection capabilities can be found here:Biological Fluid Collection MenuBiological Tissue Collection Menu

Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available.

Vaginal lubrication is provided by the Bartholin's glands near the vaginal opening and the cervix. The membrane of the vaginal wall also produces moisture, although it does not contain any glands. Before and during ovulation, the cervix's mucus glands secretes different variations of mucus, which provides an alkaline environment in the vaginal canal that is favorable to the survival of sperm.

Since a healthy vagina is colonized by a mutually symbiotic flora of microorganisms that protect its host from disease-causing microbes, any attempt to upset this balance may cause many undesirable outcomes, including but not limited to abnormal discharge and yeast infection. The acidity of a healthy vagina of a woman of child-bearing age (a pH of around 4.5) is due to the degradation of glycogen to the lactic acid by enzymes secreted by the Doderlein's bacillus. This is a normal commensal of the vagina. The acidity retards the growth of many strains of dangerous microbes. REF: The Nature of Bacterial Host-Parasite Relationships in Humans, Kennith Tobar

Small volumes of Vaginal Fluid biological fluid vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS170253 is a biological fluid targeting Vaginal Fluid. Also known as Vaginal Fluid, Pooled Human Donors.
