Thymol crystals are not getting dissolved in distilled water.need help. Need to store teeth for research. Can I add 1%of thymol solution in formalin instead of adding in water,for storage?
The maximum solubility of Thymol in pure water is only about 0.9gm/Litre,so a 5% solution is not possible with water, but may be easily attained with organic solvents, particularly alcohols.
I had a quick look at Researchgate offerings, re.your question.
If you just type into your browser, a string of words(below).
Researchgate Dentine Thymol Preservation
This will find many papers, most in .pdf format relating to dental specimen preservation, and composition of the preservative solutions.
