Isopropanol-ethanol mixture
The isopropanol-ethanol mixture is used in medical diagnostics, histology and scientific laboratories. The use of this solution is usually as a means of dehydration of tissue samples. In histology and cytology, the solution is used to remove water from tissue samples and prepare them for subsequent staining and microscopic examination.
The product is composed of the chemical compounds isopropanol (C3H8O) and ethanol (C2H6O) and the solvent water (H2O). Due to the interactions between these molecules, the mixture can effectively displace water from biological specimens.
The chemical properties of the contained alcohols allow high penetration and hardening of the tissue, which ensures better preservation of the structure for histological analysis. Therefore, the application of the solution provides precise and detailed visualizations of tissue structures, which makes it an important tool in medical diagnostics and research.
