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.
