Product Introduction:
The purpose of fixation is to preserve the original morphology and structure of cells and tissues. Fixatives can prevent the autolysis of endogenous lysosomal enzymes on their own tissues and cells, and inhibit the growth of bacteria and molds. Fixatives inactivate endogenous lysosomal enzymes by altering the internal structure of proteins through coagulation and the generation of additive compounds. Fixatives physically alter the extracellular components of the cell nucleus. Fixative is mainly divided into aldehyde fixative, mercury fixative, alcohol fixative, oxidant fixative, picrate fixative, etc. The more commonly used ones are formalin in aldehydes and ethanol in alcohols.
Formalin fixative (10%) is mainly composed of formaldehyde and deionized water, which is suitable for fixation of most tissues.
