Product Description
Isoflurane is a general anesthetic, meaning it puts you to sleep during surgery. The "100% v/v" on the vial means it's a pure solution of isoflurane, not mixed with anything else. This type of vial is typically used in hospitals and surgical centers, where it's vaporized and mixed with oxygen or nitrous oxide to create a breathable anesthetic gas.
