Gelatine 5 %
Gelatin 5% is an aqueous solution used in a variety of applications, including Warthin-Starry staining. This histological staining technique is used to visualize spirochetes, Bacillus piliformis and other thin microorganisms that are difficult to detect in conventional stains.
The particular suitability of this solution for Warthin-Starry staining results from its optimal concentration of 5% gelatin, which provides a good balance between viscosity and strength. The gelatin is used as a stabilizer to prepare the silver solution in the staining method and improve the result of the staining.
The chemical functioning of gelatin in this staining technique is based on its ability to form stable gel structures that stabilize the silver solution. Gel formation is reversible, allowing the solution to liquefy when heated and return to the gel state when cooled.
Compared to other stabilizers, Gelatin 5% is characterized by its versatility, biodegradability and compatibility. In Warthin-Starry staining, it helps improve staining results by enabling uniform distribution of the silver solution, ensuring better visibility of target microorganisms.
