Borax Solution, alcoholic saturated
Sodium tetraborate / borax, alcohol saturated, is a solution prepared from denatured ethanol, distilled water and sodium tetraborate decahydrate (Na₂B₄O₇-10H₂O). Its fields of application are in medical diagnostics, histology and scientific laboratories, where it is also used as a component of the Sulfated Alcian Blue Stain (SAB Stain) staining kit.
This solution is primarily used as a buffer and as a reagent to adjust the pH of staining agents. In Sulfated Alcian Blue (SAB) staining, it helps to selectively stain acidic and glycolysis-sensitive mucous substances, glycosaminoglycans, and proteoglycans in histological specimens.
Chemically, sodium tetraborate / borax, alcohol saturated, is characterized by alkaline properties and the formation of boric acid anions and alkali metal cations upon reaction with water. These properties allow the solution to adjust pH and promote complexation of multiply negatively charged anions in the staining reaction.
Their use can improve visualization and highlighting of acidic mucilage polysaccharides and proteoglycans. This improved visualization allows for more accurate examination and analysis of tissue samples.
