Background Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a gas (available as a 37% concentrated solution, stabilized with methanol). The 10% dilution (approximately 4% formaldehyde) has been used as a fixative since the end of the 19th century.

Mucosubstances in the porcine gastrointestinal tract: Fixation, staining and quantification [PDF]
Mucins are of great interest in intestinal research and histochemical methods are often employed to identify them. Since it is in the nature of mucins that they are “hard to hold onto” once they come into contact with water, a frequently used medium in ...

Intimal and medial contributions to the hydraulic resistance of the arterial wall at different pressures: a combined computational and experimental study [PDF]
The hydraulic resistances of the intima and media determine water flux and the advection of macromolecules into and across the arterial wall. Despite several experimental and computational studies, these transport processes and their dependence on ...

Monoclonal antibodies against human astrocytomas and their reactivity pattern [PDF]
The establishment of hybridomas after fusion of X63-Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from mice hyperimmunized against human astrocytomas is presented. The animals were primed with 5 × 106 chemically modified uncultured or cultured glioma cells.

A fixed point index approach to Krasnosel'skii-Precup fixed point theorem in cones and applications [PDF]
We present an alternative approach to the vector version of Krasnosel'skii compression-expansion fixed point theorem due to Precup, which is based on the fixed point index. It allows us to obtain new general versions of this fixed point theorem and also multiplicity results.

Effect of Fixatives' Temperatures on Subsequent Histochemical Staining [PDF]
Background: Fixation is complex series of chemical events which differs for the different group of chemical substances found in tissues. Some chemical reactions, including those involved in fixation occur more rabidly at higher temperature.Objectives ...
