Q

composition of von ebners fluid

A

hcl + 36% nacl + distilled water

17
Q

routine decalcification of post-mortem research tissues, has a large amount of nitric acid and produces better nuclear staining and less tissue distortion

A

formic acid

best for small bone spicules, good nuclear staining, slow and weak

A

trichloroacetic acid

19
Q

best for minute bone spicules

A

chromic acid (flemming’s fluid)

20
Q

best for minute pieces of bone

A

sulfurous acid

21
Q

ph of citric acid citrate buffered solution

A

4.5

22
Q

use of other salts to form complexes with calcium salts for ease of removal

A

chelating agents

23
Q

how long does chelating agents need to submerge for small tissue samples

A

1-3 weeks

24
Q

how long does chelating agents need to submerge for longer and dense bones

A

6-8 weeks

25
Q

pH of chelating agent to work properly

A

7-7.4

26
Q

common brand of chelating agent

A

Cal-ex and Versene

27
Q

increases solubility and remove calcium ions from formic acid

A

ion exchange resin

28
Q

attracting ions going to the cathode part of the agarose gel and due to this it saves time

A

electrophoresis
