Description

Histology solution 10 percent buffered formalin is a USP-grade reagent designed for the fixation and storage of tissue specimens. The solution contains 4% formaldehyde as the active ingredient and is buffered with a phosphate system to maintain a stable pH range of 6.9 to 7.1. Supplied in a 5-gallon bottle, it provides sufficient volume for extended laboratory use in histology and pathology applications.

The buffered formalin effectively preserves cellular and tissue structures, preventing autolysis and decomposition. By stabilizing proteins and other tissue components, it maintains the integrity of specimens for subsequent histological analysis, staining, or long-term storage. Its controlled pH ensures minimal distortion of tissue morphology, supporting accurate and reproducible results in laboratory studies.

In addition to fixation, this formalin solution is compatible with a range of histological reagents and procedures. It can be used in conjunction with dehydrants, clearing agents, and staining solutions, making it a versatile reagent in tissue processing workflows. The solution’s standardized composition ensures consistent performance across different laboratory settings.
