fixing agent
A fixing agent, also known as a mordant, is a substance used in various industries, notably in photography, textile manufacturing, and medical testing. Its primary function is to make color dyes permanent and prevent them from washing away. In photography, a fixing agent helps remove unexposed silver halides, stabilizing the image and making it insensitive to further exposure to light. In histochemical staining for microscopy analysis, a fixing agent helps preserve the structure of the cell or the tissue sample.
