Buffer solution

A buffer solution is a solution where the pH does not change significantly on dilution or if an acid or base is added at constant temperature.

See Karnovsky fixative and Buffer solution

Cacodylic acid

Cacodylic acid is an organoarsenic compound with the formula (CH3)2AsO2H.

See Karnovsky fixative and Cacodylic acid

Distilled water

Distilled water is water that has been boiled into vapor and condensed back into liquid in a separate container.

Kidney

In humans, the kidneys are two reddish-brown bean-shaped blood-filtering organs that are a multilobar, multipapillary form of mammalian kidneys, usually without signs of external lobulation.

Molar concentration

Molar concentration (also called molarity, amount concentration or substance concentration) is a measure of the concentration of a chemical species, in particular, of a solute in a solution, in terms of amount of substance per unit volume of solution.

Paraformaldehyde

Paraformaldehyde (PFA) is the smallest polyoxymethylene, the polymerization product of formaldehyde with a typical degree of polymerization of 8–100 units.

See Karnovsky fixative and Paraformaldehyde

PH

In chemistry, pH, also referred to as acidity or basicity, historically denotes "potential of hydrogen" (or "power of hydrogen").
