Description
When used as fixatives of liquids containing formalin, protein cross-links are formed in tissues. These bonds can mask regions of the antigen, which leads to weak or false-negative staining during the IHC reaction. The citrate buffer solution is designed to break protein cross-links and, accordingly, unmask (reveal) antigens and epitopes in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue samples. Thus, unmasking allows for a more intense IHC staining.
