Formalin-free fixative F13
Formalin-free Fixative F13 is an alternative solution for tissue preservation in histology and medical diagnostics. As a substitute for formalin, it provides effective fixation of biological tissue.
The fixative is particularly useful in situations where formalin is undesirable, although it should be noted that it still contains methanol, which is also considered hazardous. The fixative allows adequate preservation of tissue structure while being compatible with common staining and immunohistochemistry procedures.
The chemical properties of the fixative result from its composition of ethanol, methanol, polyethylene glycol, and water. The alcohol components contribute to protein denaturation and tissue structure fixation. Polyethylene glycol helps reduce tissue desiccation.
In use, the components of the fixative penetrate the tissue and cause protein denaturation, which helps maintain the structural integrity of the tissue. This makes F13 formalin-free fixative a practical option in laboratories that need an alternative to formalin.

Instructions / Protocol / Recommendations
Verwendung:
Bei der Fixierung werden alle in der Zelle ablaufenden Prozesse unterbrochen, unter möglichst optimaler Erhaltung des Zustandes und der Struktur des Gewebes. Biochemische Prozesse wie Autolyse, Verwesung und Fäulnis werden wirkungsvoll verhindert. Fixierlösung nach Stieve eignet sich zur Fixierung von Hodengewebe und Eierstockgewebe. Die Fixierlösung ist ausschließlich für die professionelle Anwendung als in-vitro Diagnostikum im histologischen Labor vorgesehen.
