CARNOY Fixing Solution (Chloroform)
Carnoy fixative solution is widely used in the study of nucleic acids and glycogen because it provides excellent preservation of these molecules. It is particularly useful for fixing material that is subsequently treated with stains such as Feulgen stain or periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain. Fixation with Carnoy solution has the advantage of being faster than many other fixation methods and offers better preservation of fine structures.

Instructions / Protocol / Recommendations
Verwendung:
CARNOY fixative solution (chloroform) is used as a fixative in in vitro diagnostics. It is mainly used to preserve and stabilize cell structures and tissue samples during histological and cytological examinations. Its composition protects the morphological characteristics of cells and enables effective staining for subsequent microscopic analysis and diagnosis. In doing so, it helps to improve the quality and detail of the data obtained.
Prinzip:
CARNOY Fixing Solution is an in vitro diagnostic solution based on a mixture of ethanol, chloroform and acetic acid. It is used to fix cell structures and tissue samples. The ethanol dehydrates and denatures proteins, while chloroform dissolves fats and lipids. Acetic acid preserves nucleic acids and swells acidic polysaccharides. This combination of effects allows cell structures and biomolecules in tissue samples to be preserved and stabilized, enabling effective analysis.
