2120-Calcium Acetate Formalin Fixative

Title Description
REF No 2120
Purpose Calcium Acetate Formalin Fixative is a special formaldehyde-based fixative used in histology and histochemistry studies, particularly in cases where the preservation of carbohydrates and certain enzyme activities is important.
Ingredients Formaldehyde, Calcium acetate, Acetic acid, Propanol
Working Principle Formaldehyde reacts with the amino groups of cellular proteins to form cross-links and stabilize tissue architecture. Calcium acetate in the solution helps reduce the loss of glycogen and certain carbohydrate components from the tissue by supporting cellular ion balance. Calcium ions may also contribute to cell membrane stability and support the preservation of certain enzyme activities. This combination may allow for better preservation of specific histochemical targets compared to classical formalin fixation.
Warnings, Precautions, Recommendations Danger. May cause severe skin burns and eye damage. May cause respiratory tract irritation. The product contains formaldehyde; it may be harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin, and prolonged exposure may carry a risk of causing cancer. Avoid inhaling the product's vapors, gases, or mist. The work area should be well ventilated, preferably using a chemical fume hood. Chemical-resistant protective gloves, appropriate protective clothing, eye protection, and face protection equipment should be worn during use. If contaminated clothing comes into contact with skin or hair, it should be removed immediately and the affected area washed thoroughly with water. If inhaled, the person should be moved to fresh air and kept in a position that allows easy breathing; if symptoms persist, seek medical attention. In case of eye contact, immediately rinse eyes thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; if contact lenses are present and can be easily removed, do so and continue rinsing; if irritation persists, seek medical attention. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately. In all cases of exposure or suspected exposure, seek medical advice and show the product label or Safety Data Sheet to the healthcare professional.
