Formic Acid 5 %
Formic acid 5 % is a dilute solution of the organic acid used in a wide range of applications. In histology, formic acid plays an essential role in decalcifying tissue specimens, especially those containing hard material such as bone. Due to its ability to dissolve calcium compounds while leaving most tissue structures intact, formic acid enables effective sectioning and staining of tissues for more detailed microscopic examination.
In addition, formic acid 5% finds application as a laboratory reagent for staining and cleaning. Its acidic properties allow various materials to be cleaned and pretreated for better surface bonding with subsequent treatments.
In materialography, formic acid is used as an etchant or etchant additive. It can also serve as a reducing agent to prevent or reduce oxidation. Overall, formic acid 5% is a versatile laboratory reagent that plays an important role in various scientific disciplines and techniques.
