Acetate Buffer pH 3.6
Acetate Buffer pH 3.6 is an aqueous solution of sodium acetate and is particularly used in WARTHIN-STARRY silver staining for Spirochaetes and Bacillus piliformis.
The buffer is particularly suitable for this staining method as it provides the necessary environment for the silver nitrate reaction required for the specific staining of these bacteria. The low pH supports the reduction of silver nitrate and promotes binding to the target microorganisms.
Chemically, the acetate buffer consists of a weak acid-base pair consisting of acetic acid and sodium acetate. This balance allows the pH of the solution to remain stable while the staining process is occurring.
Compared to other buffers, Acetate Buffer pH 3.6 offers advantages in terms of its ability to maintain a stable pH during the staining process in WARTHIN-STARRY silver staining. This stability contributes to the increased sensitivity and selectivity of the staining and enables effective visualization and diagnosis of Spirochaetes and Bacillus piliformis infections in histological specimens.
