MORPHISTO TCA Decalcifier contains trichloroacetic acid (CAS No.: 76-03-9) as an essential component and is used as an optimal decalcifier in the field of histology to effectively remove calcium deposits and mineral components in tissues and bones. Trichloroacetic acid, chemical formula C2HCl3O2, acts as the main component and ensures gentle decalcification of specimens.

When MORPHISTO TCA Decalcifier is used, a chemical reaction takes place between the trichloroacetic acid and the calcium salts present in tissue or bone specimens. This reaction leads to the precipitation of the calcium salts and thus facilitates the extraction of unwanted calcifications from the histological specimens. The chemical properties of trichloroacetic acid allow it to selectively decalcify calcium deposits while sparing the surrounding tissue.

Possible outcomes resulting from the use of MORPHISTO TCA Decalcifier may include improved specimen quality, facilitated further processing of specimens for microscopic examination, and a general reduction in artifacts as well as adulteration in histological workups.
