Several solutions with specific concentrations are routinely used in histology:
Formalin: Typically, a 10% buffered formalin solution is used for fixation. Ethanol: Used in various concentrations (50%, 70%, 95%, 100%) for dehydration of tissues. Xylene: Often used in clearing tissues, usually in 100% concentration. Hematoxylin and Eosin: These staining solutions have specific concentrations to ensure proper staining of nuclei and cytoplasm.
