Tannic Acid 5 %, aqueous
Tannin 5%, aqueous, serves multiple applications in life sciences, including histology and medical diagnostics. It is mainly used as a fixative and precipitating agent for proteins and polysaccharides. It shows particular suitability in the fixation of tissues and cells, especially in the preparation of microscopic specimens.
The chemical properties of tannin allow its binding to proteins and polysaccharides, leading to precipitation of these molecules. Tannin is a polyphenol that has multiple hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with the polarities of proteins and polysaccharides.
In application, tannin interacts with the proteins and polysaccharides of the sample, forming precipitates. This precipitation fixes the structures of the sample, stabilizing them for later analysis.
The operation of the solution is based on the chemical reactions between tannin and the biological molecules in the sample. The formation of hydrogen bonds immobilizes and stabilizes the molecules in the sample, which is an essential requirement for many analytical methods in the life sciences.
