Trichloroacetic Acid 3 %
Trichloroacetic acid 3% is considered an important laboratory reagent in medical and histological diagnostics. It is recognized for its wide application, especially as a protein precipitating agent and for cell fixation.
Chemically, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a strongly acidic compound. It is characterized by its ability to denature proteins and precipitate them from solutions. It does this by disrupting the hydrogen bonds that maintain the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures of proteins. Additionally, TCA can be used in histological fixation to preserve cells for microscopic examination by embedding protein structures in their current state.
Trichloroacetic acid 3% provides an effective way to isolate proteins and preserve the structural integrity of cells for analysis.
