Formalin (a solution of formaldehyde in water) preserves proteins and cellular organelles in a stepwise process. It penetrates tissues quickly then binds to lysine, tyrosine, asparagine, tryptophan, histidine, arginine, cysteine, and glutamine in all of the proteins present in a specimen.
10% formalin is a 1:10 dilution of 100% formalin in water, i.e. 1 part saturated formaldehyde in 9 parts distilled water.
