Product Information
| Description: | Pilocarpine nitrate salt is a non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) agonist used to construct experimental models of epilepsy. In addition, Pilocarpine constricts the pupil, enhances depth of field, and improves near and intermediate vision, which can be used in studies related to presbyopia. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
