Phosphortungstic Acid 1 %
Phosphotungstic acid in concentrations ranging from 1% to 5% is an aqueous solution used in histology and cytology as a stain and dye component. The solution is used in various staining protocols to facilitate the binding of dyes to specific cell structures or to increase color intensity.
Phosphotungstic acid is a complex acid composed of tungsten, phosphorus, and oxygen that is used as a mordant in histology and cytology. In concentrations of 1 to 5%, it is commonly used for selective staining of collagen and other extracellular matrix structures. The acid is often used in combination with dyes such as aniline blue or orange G to improve color intensity and contrast between different tissue components. The stronger binding to collagen structures by using phosphotungstic acid results in clearer visualization and delineation of these structures within the tissue.
Phosphotungstic acid in concentrations ranging from 1% to 5% can also be used in other multicolor staining techniques where selective staining of cellular structures such as cell nuclei, cytoplasm or connective tissue is required. The optimal concentration of phosphotungstic acid may vary depending on the staining protocol and the desired intensity of the color reaction.
