Chromic Acid 15 %
Chromic acid 15% is used in various scientific and industrial applications. As a powerful oxidizing agent formed by the reaction of chromium(VI) oxide (CrO3) with water (H2O), it has a wide range of applications.
In histology, it proves to be an effective fixative. Here, the biological material is stabilized by the strong oxidizing power of chromic acid, which greatly simplifies the preparation and subsequent staining of tissue specimens. This allows fine morphological details to be visualized and examined. Another application is in metallography. The oxidation properties of chromic acid allow etching of metal surfaces, making microstructures in metallic samples more visible. This capability is used for examination and quality control of metal samples.
In addition, chromic acid is used in medical diagnostics and laboratory environments as an effective oxidizing agent in chemical reactions.
