Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Hemo-De Xylene Substitute 5 GL
The xylene substitute is for use in histology and cytology. It is safer and a more preferable alternative to xylene and cuases minimal tissue shrinkage. It can be used as a solvent and clearing agent, as well as for dissolving paraffin waxes, glues and adhesives. Dries slowly with no residue. It can be used in all procedures that require xylene and is less toxic than xylene. Soluble with alcohol, paraffin embedding media, and mounting media. Biodegradable.

Electron Microscopy Sciences 8% Paraformaldehyde (formaldehyde) aqueous solution, 10x10 mL
Paraformaldehyde - methanol free solution. A more efficient and rapid penetrant fixative used in combination with Glutaraldehyde and Acrolein fixatives. 10 mL ampoules sealed under inert gas.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Hollande's Fixative Bulk, Fill 4 LT
A modification of Bouin's solution. It is stable and will decalcify small bone specimens. Tissue that is fixed with Hollande's can be stained successfully with most stains, and the cupric acetate in the solution stabilizes red blood cell membranes and cosinophil and endocrine cell granules so that less lysis occurs than with Bouin's solution. Hollande's is widely used as a fixative for biopsy specimens of the gastrointestinal tract.
Thorough washing of the fixative prior to placing the specimen in a phosphate buffered formalin solution is necessary because the salts present in the solution will form an insoluble phosphate precipitate. Packaged in leak-proof histo-containers; prefilled ready-to-use.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Glutaraldehyde 8% Aqueous Solution, 111-30-8, MFCD00007025, 10x2 mL
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.
