Acetic acid 2 %, consisting of an aqueous base and acetic acid, is used in various applications. In histology, it is used to rinse and differentiate stains and to adjust the pH of sections during the staining process. The acidic properties of acetic acid allow selective removal of excess dyes and help improve the contrast ratio.

The special suitability of acetic acid 2% results from its lower concentration compared to other acetic acid solutions, which reduces the risk of too much influence on the staining process or damage to tissue structures. This makes the solution particularly suitable for applications where precise control of staining and pH adjustment is required.

The chemical mode of operation of acetic acid 2% is based on its ability to release protons and thus lower the pH. This results in various reactions depending on the specific application, such as the removal of excess dyes in histological processes.

Compared to other products, Acetic Acid 2% offers the advantage of finer control of the desired chemical reactions. This characteristic makes it a preferred choice in areas where a lower concentration of acetic acid is required to achieve optimal results.
