Blood, glyoxal-denatured, dried - Names and Identifiers
Blood, glyoxal-denatured, dried - Introduction
Glyoxal is a commonly used denaturant that can be used to process and fix blood samples. Glyoxal (chemical formula: C2H4O2) is an organic compound with common physical properties including colorless liquid, pungent taste and pungent odor. Glyoxal has a strong ability to sterilize and fix cells, and is often used in biological and biochemical research in the laboratory.
Glyoxal can fix red blood cells and white blood cells to prevent their destruction and degradation when processing blood samples. At the same time, glyoxal can also maintain cell morphology and tissue structure, making cells and tissues more clearly observed under the microscope. Therefore, glyoxal is widely used in cytology, immunology, histology and other fields.
There are many methods for preparing glyoxal, the most common is the method of oxidizing ethanol. Under normal circumstances, ethanol and oxygen in the air at low temperature catalytic oxidation reaction, the formation of glyoxal. The preparation process of glyoxal requires safety attention, because glyoxal is a highly toxic substance and is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Wear protective glasses, gloves and masks during operation, and maintain a well-ventilated laboratory environment.
For dry blood samples, the application of glyoxal can delay the degradation and decay process of cells, and at the same time prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi to maintain the stability of the sample. Based on the dried blood sample, the detection of hematological indexes, blood type identification and disease diagnosis can be carried out.
