Fixative after THIEL
Thiel fixation solution is a fixation solution used in anatomical and histological research to preserve tissues and organs for examination and preparation. Thiel fixation was developed by Austrian anatomist Walter Thiel and is widely used in macroscopic and microscopic examination of human and animal tissues.
Thiel fixation solution consists of a mixture of different chemicals combined in specific ratios. The main components are formaldehyde, ethanol, sodium sulfate, and sodium hydroxide. Formaldehyde is the primary fixative that crosslinks proteins and makes the tissue durable and stable. Ethanol helps dehydrate and preserve tissue. Sodium sulfate and sodium hydroxide serve to keep the tissue soft and flexible, which is beneficial during further processing and preparation.
Thiel's fixative solution has several advantages over other fixation methods. It allows better preservation of tissue structure and color, and provides a soft and elastic consistency of the tissue. This makes it particularly suitable for the examination of joints, tendons and ligaments, which often become hard and brittle when other fixation agents are used. The examination of nerve structures and blood vessels is also facilitated by Thiel fixation.
