SCHAFFER solution (formalin-methanol, K-Na-Ph buffer)
SCHAFFER solution, also known as formalin-methanol-K-Na-Ph buffer, is a fixing solution commonly used in histology and cytology. It consists of formalin, methanol, and a potassium sodium phosphate buffer (K-Na-Ph buffer).
Formalin, an aqueous solution of formaldehyde, is a widely used fixative that cross-links proteins and nucleic acids in tissue specimens, preserving their structure. Methanol serves as a preservative and dehydrating agent that removes water from tissue samples, helping to stabilize cell structures.
K-Na-Ph buffer is a buffer that maintains stable pH levels, ensuring the optimal working condition for fixation.
SCHAFFER solution enables efficient fixation of tissue samples, making it an important solution in the preparation of tissue samples for histological and cytological studies.
