EDM 3 LLC Trichloroacetic Acid ACS Grade 80% Histology Reagent is a powerful chemical reagent used in various scientific fields, including histology. As an ACS (American Chemical Society) grade reagent, it meets high purity standards suitable for laboratory and research purposes.

Features:

• Fixative: To preserve tissue samples, TCA is employed as a fixative. Proteins are denatured, which aids in preserving the tissue's structural integrity for microscopic inspection.
• Decalcification: It helps prepare bone samples for staining and sectioning by decalcifying them.
• Protein Precipitation: TCA is helpful in the preparation and analysis of tissue samples because it precipitates proteins out of solution.

Safety and Handling:

• Concentration: Because it is so concentrated, an 80% TCA solution needs to be handled carefully.
• Preparation: As necessary, dilute with water or other solvents to suit particular histology methods.
• Storage: Store in tightly sealed containers in a cold, dry location. Keep out of the rain and direct sunshine.
• Safety: Wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE), such as lab coats, gloves, and goggles.

Packaging:

• 4 oz Bottle: Ideal for experiments needing tiny volumes of reagent or for smaller laboratories. Simple to store and handle.
• 16 oz Bottle: Perfect for procedures requiring higher amounts of reagent, or for larger labs. Lowers the frequency of reordering and offers cost effectiveness.
