SCHAFFER’s Fixative (Formaline Ethanol)

Schaffer's solution, also known as formalin-ethanol solution, is a fixative solution used in histology and pathology to preserve tissue specimens. It consists of a mixture of formalin and ethanol, with formalin acting as a fixative and ethanol as a co-fixative and dehydrating agent.

Formalin, an aqueous solution of formaldehyde, is a widely used fixative that cross-links proteins and nucleic acids in cells and tissues, thereby preserving their structure. This is critical to allow accurate assessment of cell morphology and structure in microscopic studies.

Ethanol, an alcohol, also has fixation properties but is less effective than formalin. In Schaffer's solution, ethanol contributes to fixation by aiding in the dehydration of cells and facilitating the penetration of formalin into the tissue.

The combination of formalin and ethanol in Schaffer's solution provides effective fixation of tissue specimens and allows detailed examination of cellular and extracellular structures. Schaffer solution is a suitable fixation solution for various applications in histology and pathology, including the examination of biopsies, autopsies and surgical specimens.
