Abstract
Experiments with rat tail tendons reveal that some dichloro-s-triazinyl compounds—the procion M dyes—are useful cross-linking agents. In the presence of tertiary amines or as pre-quaternized dyes they can be used as fixatives of biological material and as tanning agents and dyes for collagen.
