Human Synovial Fluid for Research

What Is Synovial Fluid?

Synovial fluid is a specialized biological fluid located within synovial joints, including the knee, elbow, hip, shoulder, wrist, and ankle. It is produced primarily by the synovial membrane and serves several important physiological functions, including lubrication, shock absorption, nutrient transport, and protection of articular cartilage.

Although healthy synovial fluid contains relatively few cells, its composition changes considerably during inflammation and joint disease. Variations in cytokines, proteins, immune cells, enzymes, metabolites, and extracellular vesicles provide researchers with valuable information about disease activity and tissue remodeling.

For this reason, human synovial fluid samples have become essential biospecimens for studying osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, autoimmune disorders, and joint degeneration.

Cell Bio supplies human synovial fluid specimens that preserve the biological characteristics required for advanced molecular and cellular research.
