Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• 0 ul of perilymph is aspirated by means of an oil-filled glass micropipette.
• Osmolarity of perilymph is similar to that of plasma, hence it is in osmotic equilibrium with blood.
• It is also shown that amino acids which exhibit very steep gradients between CSF and perilymph, such as glycine and alanine, can be used as endogenous markers to assess the degree of artifactual admixture of CSF when perilymph is sampled by conventional techniques in the open system.
• While perilymph is connected to some extent to CSF, the connection is not as open in some people as in others.
• The precursor of perilymph is blood plasma.
