Potassium Permanganate ~ 1 %
Potassium permanganate 1% solution is a versatile chemical compound used in various applications, including histology, water treatment and disinfection. The 1 % solution has a comparatively low oxidizing power and is therefore particularly suitable for sensitive applications such as histology.
In histology, it is used as an oxidizing agent and staining reagent. Its particular suitability is shown in the decolorization of tissue sections after silver staining such as Golgi or Bielschowsky staining, to remove excess silver deposits and to clarify the background of the stained tissue.
The chemical functioning of potassium permanganate is based on its strong oxidizing power, which allows it to pretreat cellular structures such as lipofuscin for Schiff's reagent staining. By oxidizing lipids and proteins, it also increases contrast in electron microscopy applications, resulting in better visualization of cell structures.
Advantages over similar products, especially other potassium permanganate concentrations, lie in the broad applicability of potassium permanganate 1% solution in histology and other fields. The solution allows not only decolorization and staining of cell structures, but also improved contrast in electron microscopy. In addition, it is less aggressive than higher concentrations, making it more suitable for sensitive applications. In water treatment and disinfection, potassium permanganate is used for oxidation and removal of iron, manganese and organic compounds.
