What Fixatives are Commonly Used in Vascular Perfusion?
Common fixatives used in vascular perfusion include:
- Formaldehyde: A widely used fixative that cross-links proteins and preserves cellular structure. - Glutaraldehyde: Often used for electron microscopy due to its superior preservation of ultrastructural details. - Paraformaldehyde: A polymerized form of formaldehyde, often used in combination with other fixatives for enhanced tissue preservation.
