Zur Methodik der Artefaktausschaltung bei Anwendung von Diazoniumsalzen in der Histochemie (Phosphatasen,Esterasen usw.)

Summary A post-incubation with 1% sulfanilic acid solution in 10% CH₃COOH (approx. 2–10 min) or 5–10% potash alum or 0.5 mol AlCl₃ in 0, 1n HCl-after the histochemical reaction with diazonium salt-prevents N₂ formation. This gas originates from decomposition of tissue adsorbed diazonium salt which occurs after mounting in glycerin jelly. The inhibition of diazo-group disintegration depends, in the case of sulfanilic acid, on the formation of a diazoamino compound or double salt production with aluminium ions in the case of AlCl₃.
