Histofluid mounting medium

Histofluid is a water-clear adhesive of acrylic resins dissolved in xylene. It hardens fast and due to its optical properties suits perfectly well for embedding microscopic preparations. Shortly after having covered a preparation it can already be examined and filed. Histofluid may also be used to firmly lock and seal bottle caps.
 

• long storing or temperature changes do not cause fissures or deformations in Histofluid layers
• does not turn yellowish when being exposed to UV-radiation
• does not fluorescence
• does not form bubbles
• even sensitive colorations are preserved due to its acid number = 0
• refractive index of 1.5 (nD 20 °C) is adjusted to the microscope slide and cover glass
• water-repellent and dissolves in, for example, xylene, acetone, chloroform, dioxan and toluol
• can be stored in sealed bottles for an unlimited period
• filled into special bottles designed for hazardous materials and bearing the UN code
