Acetic acid 0.6% – 10 ml research-grade aqueous solution in a 10 ml glass bottle. Laboratory reagent used in experimental workflows involving pH adjustment, staining protocols, buffer systems and analytical chemistry applications.

Research Overview

Acetic acid is a simple monocarboxylic organic acid widely used as a laboratory reagent and buffer component. In dilute form, acetic acid solutions are employed across histology, cytology, analytical chemistry and microbiology workflows, where controlled acidity and reproducible pH conditions are required for staining, fixation, titration and method development in experimental models.

Primary Research Areas

• Histology and cytology staining: Used in experimental staining and fixation protocols where mild acidic conditions support contrast development and preservation of cellular structures.
• pH control and buffer systems: Applied as a weak acid component in acetate-based buffers, enabling controlled pH environments for enzymatic assays, protein work and other biochemical studies.
• Analytical chemistry and titration: Utilized as a reagent in volumetric analysis, method validation and calibration procedures where defined acidity is necessary for accurate measurements.
• Microbiology and media acidification: Investigated in culture media adjustments and experimental setups that require modulation of environmental pH for microbial growth and stress-response studies.
• General laboratory reagent: Employed as a versatile weak acid in diverse in vitro workflows where controlled acidity and reproducible chemical conditions are important.
