Additive fixative - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

An example of an additive fixative is one that contains: - Answer picric acid Microscopic examination of an H&E stained section fixed in formalin shows marked nuclear bubbling. One most often sees this artifact if the specimen is processed following: - Answer incomplete fixation Microscopic evalution of H&E stained sections from a surgically removed small bowl specimen shows an absence of much of the epithelium in otherwise normal tissue. This most likely resulted from: - Answer d...

Carsons Mordant . substance’s or metals that act as a link between dye and tissue A mordant is a metal with a valency of at least two. The two commonest metals used in histotechnology are aluminum and ferric iron, both with valencies of three. The attachment of mordant to dyes is by means of a covalent and a coordinate bond. Fixative additive fixation- stabilizes proteins by denaturing proteins (chemical, heat) and combines with fixative molecule becoming insoluble non additive ...

how does delayed fixation affect tissues? - ️️result in drying and decomposition of tissues. loss of nuclear detail, disappearance of cells, cell shrinkage, etc. what is a fixative? - ️️substance that alters tissues through the stabilization of proteins so that it is resistant to changes in subsequent treatments of the tissues. what is a preservative? - ️️does not alter the tissue structure, so it will not protect it from changes in subsequent treatments of the tissue functions...

Histotechnology- FixationFixation: - correct answers Alteration of biological tissue by chemical or physical means which stabilizes proteins found in tissue, preventing further metabolic activity. Purpose of Fixation: - correct answers To kill tissue and preserve it by limiting the effects of decay, putrefaction, and autolysis. Fixation also hardens tissue which makes it easier to gross, and easier to section once it is processed and embedded. Physical Agents: - correct answers - Heat and ...
