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 layersdoes not turn yellowish when being exposed to UV-radiationdoes not fluorescencedoes not form bubbleseven sensitive colorations are preserved due to its acid number = 0refractive index of 1.5 (nD 20 °C) is adjusted to the microscope slide and cover glasswater-repellent and dissolves in, for example, xylene, acetone, chloroform, dioxan and toluolcan be stored in sealed bottles for an unlimited periodfilled into special bottles designed for hazardous materials and bearing the UN codeFor research and development only - no IVD.
Histological staining solutions
Stains are delivered in 1000 ml bottles. Each bottle is sufficient for 1500 up to 2500 specimens. They can be used for clinical diagnostics.Harris' hematoxylin solution (Papanicolaou's solution 1a): The cytological staining technique developed by Papanicolaou is still the standard method in cancer and hormone cycle diagnosis. By using the classical Harris' hematoxylin solution (Papanicolaou's solution 1a), excellent nuclear staining can be achieved in 3 to 5 minutes. Nuclei are stained blue, dark violet to black. Densitiy (20 °C): 1.04 g/cm3. pH value (20 °C): 2.3 to 2.8. C.I. 75290: 5,3 g/l. Al2(SO4)3 x 18 H2O: 67 g/lMayer's hemalum solution: This solution does not need to be filtrated prior use and the dye is oxidized in a controlled manner, which renders the results robust and allows a brilliant differentiation of the stained structures. Nuclei are intensive blue, cytoplasm is grey-blue. Density (20 °C): 1,05 g/cm3. pH value (20 °C): 1.8 to 2.2. C.I. 75290: 4.4 g/l. Al2(SO4)3 x 18 H2O: 28 g/l. C6H8O7 x H2O: 0.5 g/l0.2% EOSIN Y solution alcoholic: A ready-to-use solution that can be used for routine staining in the hematoxylin-eosin staining process (H&E) of sample material of human origin. Due to the hematoxylin solution, the nuclei will appear blue to dark violet in color and the Eosin Y solution will stain the cytoplasma and intercellular substances red-orange.
