title: Comparison of pig cornea preservation solutions using quantitative 31P NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: We compared the abilities of three solutions (bicarbonate-free glucose-phosphate Ringer's solution (EP II), lactated Ringer's solution and physiologic saline solution) to preserve pig cornea by measuring phosphate metabolites with 31P NMR spectroscopy. EP II preserves corneal viability better than others, and preserving extracted cornea also is better than preserving the whole eye.
