How is Ionic Strength Controlled in Histological Procedures?
In histological procedures, controlling ionic strength is achieved by carefully preparing and using buffer solutions. Common buffers include _Phosphate-Buffered Saline_ (PBS) and _Tris-Buffered Saline_ (TBS), which help maintain a consistent ionic environment. These buffers are used in various steps, such as washing tissue sections, preparing staining solutions, and incubating enzyme reactions.
