Medical Trichloroacetic Acid Histology Reagent

Medical Organic Trichloroacetic Acid 50% Histology Reagent, 4 oz is a strong organic acid that is frequently employed in histology for a number of purposes, such as decalcification, protein precipitation, and tissue fixation. This 50% concentration reagent is especially helpful in labs that need to apply accurate and efficient techniques for tissue preparation. Comes conveniently packaged in a 4 oz (around 118 mL) container, making it ideal for small and medium-sized laboratories.

Features:

• Fixative: Tissue samples are preserved using TCA as a fixative. Proteins are denatured, preserving the tissue's structural integrity for microscopic inspection.
• Decalcification: Bone samples can be effectively decalcified using it, allowing for sectioning and staining.
• Protein Precipitation: Proteins are precipitated out of solution by TCA, which is advantageous for the preparation and examination of tissue samples.

Safety and Handling:

• Preparation: Usually, the 50% TCA solution is used just as it is. Add water or other solvents to dilute as needed for a given histology process.
• Application: Use on tissue samples in accordance with accepted histology practices. To get the best outcomes, make sure everything is handled and timed properly.
• Storage: Keep in a firmly closed container and store in a cold, dry place. Keep out of the rain and direct sunshine.
• Safety: TCA is caustic and can burn people severely. Wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE), such as lab coats, gloves, and goggles.

Packaging:

4 oz (around 118 mL) jar that can be used in a variety of lab settings.
