Description
Bouin’s solution is a versatile fixative that contains bright yellow pigmentation properties. It is a popular choice for fixing embryonic studies and skin, due to its excellent preservation and illumination of protoplasmic elements such as nuclei and chromosomes. It may be used to decalcify bones with the addition of formic acid, a combination that is delicate enough to preserve the boney tissue for several days or weeks. It may also be used to for adipose rich tissues when 25% ethanol is added.
