Electron Microscopy Sciences Bouin's Solution 30 ML
Bouin's solution can be used as a fixation and a staining fluid and is excellent for use on biopsy specimens of the gastrointestinal tract. Tissue from the endocrine system are well fixed and many antibodies react well with tissue fixed in Bouin's. May be used as a routine fixative or a staining solution, but should not be used as a preservative for tissue. The maximum fixation time in this solution should be less than 48 hours and should be transferred to alcohol. Packaged in leak-proof histo-containers, prefilled and ready-to-use.
Formulated with Picric Acid saturated aqueous solution 75%, Formalin (40% aqueous formaldehyde) 25% and Glacial Acetic acid 5% in de-ionized water.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Acetone: Xylene 500 ML
Used in Brown and Brenn Method for gram positive and gram negative Bacteria.
Also see the Taylor Modification of the Brown and Brenn +/- technique noted for the varying differentiation available. Over-differentiation in the B&B sep 6 is a problem with some sections; run the control slides at varying rates to determine the amount for the specific organism.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Glutaraldehyde Aqueous 50%, EM Grade 10 ML
OCHCH₂CH₂CH₂CHO F.W. 100.12
Aqueous glutaraldehyde, the universal fixative for electron microscopy, is purified to EM grade from commercial grade by "all-glass vacuum-distillation". It is the highest possible quality, free from polymers and other contaminents. Each lot is assayed prior to shipping assuring consistent purity and the highest possible quality.
If stored properly, our Glutaraldehyde has a very long shelf life. EM grade aqueous glutaraldehyde, stored in volumes greater than 100 ml, with repeated defrosting and recapping, will polymerize in time, producing an absorption peak of 235nm rather than the 280nm of pure EM grade. The presence of polymerized glutaraldehyde greatly reduces its efficiency as a cross-linking agent, preventing proper fixation. For this reason, we provide 10 ml ampoules sealed under dry nitrogen and 100 ml bottles that are kept refrigerated until it is shipped.

Newcomer Supply Schiff Reagent, McManus, 125 ml
Newcomer Supply Schiff Reagent, McManus a crucial element in the Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) Stain and for staining glycoproteins, epithelial mucins, basement membranes and fungal cell walls. Schiff Reagent, McManus is used in a variety of staining procedures that include: PAS with and without diastase, Alcian Blue/PAS for mucins, PAS/Light Green for Fungus, Feulgen Reaction for demonstration of DNA. Newcomer Supply Schiff Reagent, McManus, a crucial element in the Fungus, PAS/Light Green procedure, is also used for staining fungus and glycogen in tissue sections. Schiff Reagent, McManus is a stable and reliable product that is conveniently stored at room temperature for ready-to-use staining. Although initially colorless, Schiff Reagent, McManus when in direct contact with skin, clothing, countertops, floors and other surfaces, will react and leave a bright magenta stain that is difficult to remove. Shelf Life is 1 year from date of manufacture. Store at 15-30°C.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Glutaraldehyde 70% Aqueous Solution, 111-30-8, MFCD00007025, 10 mL ampoule
Formula: OCHCH2CH2CH2CHO, MW: 100.12. After glutaraldehyde has been purified to EM grade, it has a high risk of polymerizing if it is not handled properly. Electron Microscopy Sciences takes special precautions to assure a polymer-free, pure glutaraldehyde. 4 to (-18)°C.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Formaldehyde/Zinc Fixative 4 LT
Prepared: Ready-to-use. Preserves fine nuclear details and good for immunostaining. Contains no mercury. Can be used with automated tissue processors. Works well with standard and special stains because zinc is a stain enhancing mordant.
Polysciences, Inc. Soft Nail, 250 mL
Made for very hard complex keratinized hair, nail and skin samples common in Mohs Histology laboratories. Hair, nail and skin samples that have been processed tend to flex and turn becoming difficult to cut and hold on slides for staining.
