Formalin fixative

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Visit Supplier

10% formalin fixative is a solution used for the preservation and fixation of biological samples, such as tissues and cells, prior to further analysis or processing. It contains a 10% concentration of formaldehyde in a buffer solution. The primary function of this product is to maintain the structural integrity and morphology of the sample by cross-linking and preserving proteins within the cells.

Rat mandibles were placed into 10% formalin fixative (Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and then decalcified in 10% EDTA for 2 to 3 weeks, followed by embedding in paraffin. The specimens were sent to the University of Michigan School of Dentistry Histology Core for 4 to 5μm thick sectioning in the coronal plane followed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
