Identification of the optimal method for removing the capsule from the acinus of the rat's mandibular glands when preparing specimens for superficial morphology examination.
The superficial morphology of the acinus of the mandibular gland in rats, which corresponds to the submandibular gland in humans, is very difficult to observe under scanning electron microscope due to a closely adherent capsule. Therefore, we evaluated the most effective protocol for removing this capsule from the acinus using various solutions, at different temperatures and for different durations of soaking. Based on the data for 50 male Wistar rats, the most effective method was soaking in an 8 N hydrochloric acid solution at 60°C for 70 min, in a water bath, followed by soaking in a 0.1-0.2% collagenase solution at 37°C for 330-350 min.
