Ammonium Sulfate Fixative pH 7,0
Ammonium sulfate fixation medium pH 7.0 consists of potassium citrate fixation buffer and ammonium sulfate. It is mainly used for the preservation of cellular and tissue structures in cell biology and histology.
The function of the fixation medium is based on the combination of the stabilizing properties of potassium citrate fixation buffer and the fixing effect of ammonium sulfate. The buffer provides a stable pH environment, while ammonium sulfate precipitates proteins and preserves their spatial structures. This process occurs by reducing the water molecules around proteins, making them less soluble and causing them to precipitate.
This particular solution is ideal for applications where fixation of proteins and cellular structures is essential, such as immunohistochemistry and cell biology. By preserving protein topology and cellular integrity, the ammonium sulfate fixation medium enables precise and reliable analyses.
