Fixing solution for color preservation according to Peters is an aqueous solution mainly used in comparative anatomy and human anatomy. Its main function is to improve the color stability of anatomical specimens while preserving tissue structures.

The chemical functioning of this solution is based on the multiple properties of its components. Potassium acetate and potassium nitrate act as buffers, while boric acid and salicylic acid aid in color retention. Carlsbad salt, a naturally occurring mineral mixture, promotes fixation and preservation of tissue structures. Chloral hydrate and phenol serve as additional preservatives, ensuring long-term stability of the preparations.

The special suitability of this fixative solution lies in its ability to maintain the color fastness of stained preparations while protecting the tissue from degradation. The combination of the various components enables effective fixation and color retention, improving the quality and longevity of anatomical preparations in comparative anatomy and human anatomy.
