Epoxy resin as fixative during freeze-substitution.
An alternative protocol for freeze-substitution is described. Araldite/Epon embedding medium (20% in acetone) is first used as a stabilizer (as e.g., OsO(4)) and then as embedding medium. The major components of the Araldite/Epon resin formulation react with proteins and lipids and provide for an excellent preservation and reasonable visualisation of the ultrastructure. The ultrastructural appe...
متن کاملA phytoplankton growth assay for routine in situ environmental assessments.
This study proposes an ecologically relevant and cost-effective phytoplankton growth assay for routine in situ toxicity assessments. Assay procedures were developed applying, to the extent possible, the rationale behind the design of standard algal assays. Chlorella vulgaris was selected as test species because it grows well immobilized in alginate beads and has a wide geographic distribution. ...
متن کاملUse of saturated sodium chloride solution as a tissue fixative
The present study was carried out to examine the capability of saturated sodium chloride solution as a fixative agent instead of formalin which is regarded as a carcinogenic material. For this purpose 3 rabbits were used and their livers, kidneys and spleens were exposed and removed. Neutral buffered formalin solution, saturated sodium chloride solution and distilled water were used as fixative...
متن کاملEvaluation of fixative solutions for ultrastructural analysis of brown spider Loxosceles intermedia (Araneae: Sicariidae) tissues.
In view of the widely varying compositions of fixative solutions used for studying spiders, five different fixative formulas were tested for fixing male brown-spider (Loxosceles intermedia) gonad tissues. The brown spider represents a public health problem in Curitiba (Paraná State, Brazil). Morphological study of its gonads may aid in understanding the reproductive strategies of this species, ...
متن کاملRoutine quantification of phytoplankton groups— microscopy or pigment analyses?
Phytoplankton pigments in samples taken from nutrient-enriched and non-enriched 3 m3 seawater enclosures were separated and quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The enclosures were with and without inorganic (N, P, Si) and organic (glucose, C) nutrient enrichments, resulting in a variation of phytoplankton groups in time and space. The relative contribution of the maj...
