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 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.
Andwin Scientific CYTOSEAL XY1 MOUNT MEDIUM 4OZ
The Cytoseal XYL Mounting Medium is composed of high-quality synthetic resins and antioxidant that eliminates the chance of fading or yellowing of specimens. This product can also be dried quickly, which permits specimen examinations right after the application of the medium. It is packaged and sold in a 4 oz. bottle that has a twist-open cap.
Boston Bioproducts Inc Paraformaldehyde (3.7%, Fixative Solution) - 500ml
Paraformaldehyde solution is a neutral fixative solution used to fix tissues and cells in immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry protocols. Often stabilized in a phosphate buffer for delivery, this reagent actively cross-links proteins and DNA, immobilizing cellular components and maintaining the integrity of cell morphology. This reagent supports the accurate visualization of cells and tissues under a microscope, ensuring that researchers can observe fine details without degradation.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Davidson's (Hartmann's) Fixative 4 LT
This is rapid fixative. Results with good nuclear detail and minimal formalin pigment. Hatmann's (Davidson's) Fixative is useful for preparing tumors, bone marrow, gynecologic specimen, fatty breast, medical biopsies. Fixation of small specimen is rapid. Exposure to the fixative should be limited to 24 hours (tissue may then be transferred to neutral buffered formalin or 70% alcohol for storage).
Based on the volume of 1125 ml solution, there is 2 part Formalin (35-39%), 3 part Ethanol, 1 part Glacial Acetic acid, and 3 part of tap water.
