How Does Cacodylate Buffer Compare to Other Buffers?
Cacodylate buffer is often compared to other buffers like phosphate and Tris buffers. While phosphate buffers are commonly used, they can interact with fixatives like osmium tetroxide, leading to precipitates. Tris buffers have a wider buffering range but can be less effective in preserving ultrastructure. Cacodylate buffer's unique properties make it highly suitable for electron microscopy and specific histological applications.
