This substance, which is also found in the natural structure of the organism, is used in many areas, from the industry to household materials, from the production of coatings in dentistry to the fixation of cadavers in laboratories. Formaldehyde is commonly used in laboratories for fixation of tissues. In this study, the staining properties of tissues fixed with low-cost sugar cane molasses, which is one of the natural sugars and organically produced in Turkey, shown by May Grunwald Giemsa staining method were compared with those of tissues fixed with buffered formol-saline. As a result, intense maceration was observed in the skin and small intestines. Considering the chromatin distribution, nucleus separation and cytoplasm staining in other tissues (liver, spleen, kidney, testis, large intestine, brain, cerebellum and lung), tissues fixed with sugarcane molasses showed similar properties to tissues fixed with buffered formal-saline.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFixationFormaldehydeHistologyMay Grunwald GiemsaSugar Cane MolassesArticle9215716510.31797/vetbio.1499149N/A
