Chromic Acid 4 %

Chromic acid 4% consists of an aqueous base with 4% chromium(VI) oxide. This product is a strong oxidizing agent and can be used in various fields, including histology.

In histology, chromic acid is mainly used as a fixative. It acts by oxidizing and cross-linking proteins, stabilizing cell structures and preserving them for later examination under a microscope. Fixation preserves the morphology of tissue specimens, allowing accurate assessment of cell structures.

The chemical functioning of chromic acid is based on its ability to oxidize proteins in cells and tissues and form covalent bonds between adjacent protein chains. This leads to cross-linking of protein structures and stabilization of tissue specimens.

Despite the special suitability of chromic acid as a fixative in histology, its use has declined in recent years due to toxicity and environmental concerns. Alternative fixation methods have been developed that pose fewer health and environmental risks. Therefore, chromic acid is used less and less in modern histology.
