Formalin 15% Fixative, Neutral-Buffered

Having a tissue fixative is essential for histological research. Formalin is a commly used fixative in histology research that is thought to form cross links between the aldehydes and the proteins in the tissues sample to help retain cellular constituents in their in vivo state. This helps to keep the tissue stable during tissue processing or staining. 15% formalin netural buffered solution is a commonly used fixative that requires a short period of fixation, but allows for the long- term storage of tissue samples.
