Scott’s Tap Water Buffer is a ready to use buffering solution used in cytological staining techniques.
Scott’s Tap Water Buffer is a histological reagent that substitutes tap water and enables fast and accurate blueing
of nuclear chromatin and membranes of the cell nucleus. It is used as a "blueing reagent" in hematoxylin and eosin
(H & E) staining procedures. One of the steps in the H&E procedure is blueing. As the name implies, this step
converts the initial soluble red color of the hematoxylin within the nucleus to an insoluble blue color. The alkaline
pH of the blueing solution causes the mordant dye-like to reform in the tissue and become more permanent.
Appearance: Clear, colourless solution.
