Glutaraldehyde 3 %, Cacodylatebuffer
Glutaraldehyde 3% solution in cacodylate buffer is a fixative solution mainly used in electron microscopy and histology. Glutaraldehyde is an aldehyde that enables effective fixation of tissue specimens through its ability to cross-link proteins and other cellular components. This preserves and stabilizes cell structures, which is essential for subsequent examination under the microscope.
The cacodylate buffer is used to stabilize the pH of the solution to ensure optimal fixation of cells. This buffer is particularly suitable for electron microscopy because it does not contain heavy metal ions that could affect image quality. The combination of glutaraldehyde and cacodylate buffer provides effective and gentle fixation of cell and tissue samples for a variety of microscopic applications.
