Hydrochloric Acid in Ethanol (0.25 % / 70 %)
The alcoholic hydrochloric acid solution (0.25 % / 70 %) is mainly used in histology and medical diagnostics, where it is used to differentiate hematoxylin and stains, for example.
The special suitability of this solution lies in its ability to remove excess dyes and thus prevent overstaining. By attenuating hematoxylin staining, it can restore the balance between the blue and red components of H&E staining, allowing clear and accurate visualization of tissue structures.
Chemically, the solution consists of a mixture of ethanol, water and fuming hydrochloric acid. The alcohol serves as a solvent and dehydrating agent, while the hydrochloric acid contributes to the decolorization.
