CARNOY’s Fixative (Chloroform & Iron(III) Chloride) - A
Carnoy Fixing Solution (Chloroform & Ferric Chloride) is a fixing solution used in histology and cytology. It consists of a mixture of chloroform, ferric chloride (FeCl3) and other ingredients. The solution provides rapid and effective fixation of cells and tissues, allowing preservation of cellular structures and morphological details.
Carnoy Fixing Solution with chloroform and ferric chloride is particularly useful for the fixation of glycogen, nucleic acids and lipids in tissue sections. The presence of chloroform in the solution helps extract lipids, allowing clear visualization of cell structures. Ferric chloride helps stabilize tissue structures and improves the shelf life of specimens.
This fixative solution is commonly used for histological and cytological examination of plant and animal tissues and is suitable for a variety of staining methods and microscopic techniques.
