MAYER'S TANNIC ACID-FERRIC CHLORIDE STAIN FOR MUCINS

Hale Stain for Sialic Acid-containing Mucins

The feasibility of using the Hale stain to identify cellular sialic acid-containing mucins by electron microscopy was investigated. Three kinds of mouse ascites tumor cells were fixed in neutral buffered formalin, exposed to fresh colloidal ferric oxide, treated with potassium ferrocyanide, imbedded in Selectron, and sectioned for electron microscopy. Additional staining with uranyl acetate and...

Artificial Spores: Immunoprotective Nanocoating of Red Blood Cells with Supramolecular Ferric Ion-Tannic Acid Complex

The blood-type-mismatch problem, in addition to shortage of blood donation, in blood transfusion has prompted the researchers to develop universal blood that does not require blood typing. In this work, the “cell-in-shell” (i.e., artificial spore) approach is utilized to shield the immune-provoking epitopes on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). Individual RBCs are successfully coated with s...

Ferric Chloride in Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater Treatment Facilities have been built to remove biological and chemical waste from water as it is used. These facilities maintain a healthy environment for organisms as well as people because it removes potentially harmful material and kills pathogens that would easily spread through cities. Phosphorus is a compound of interest because a high concentration of it at discharge will even...
