The concentration of major ions (mM/l) in haemolymph of the whip scorpion, Thelyphonus indicus STOLICZKA, were found to be Na+=222.6, K+=14.24, Ca2+=12.50, Mg2+=7.52 and Cl-=235.16. The pH of haemolymph was found to be 7.60. Based on these values the saline formula was established as follows: NaCl =13.00g/l, KCl=1.06g/l, CaCl2=1.38g/l, MgCl2=1.52g/l. The pH was adjusted to 7.60 with 0.2M Tris-HCl buffer. The suitability of the prepared saline for neurophysiological studies has been tested.
