Acetic alcohol (10% / 50%)
Acetic acid alcohol is an effective solution in histology and medical diagnostics. It consists of ethanol, deionized water and acetic acid. A common use is in Sulfated Alcian Blue staining, a special staining kit used to label acidic mucopolysaccharides, glycosaminoglycans and acidic glycoproteins.
The solution acts as a fixative and helps to harden and preserve tissue during the staining process. The presence of acetic acid enhances the fixation process by lowering the pH and allowing cross-linking of proteins.
In terms of chemical reactions, ethanol dehydrates the tissue and makes it ready for subsequent staining. Acetic acid contributes to fixation by denaturing proteins in the tissue.
The use of acetic acid alcohol solution can lead to improved detection and visualization of structural components in tissue samples. It is a key component in the visualization of acidic mucopolysaccharides.
