HISTOLOGY AND TISSUE PROCESSING

Histo-Clear

Histological Clearing Solvent for Tissue Processing and Microscopy

Product Description

Histo-Clear is a histological clearing solvent used in tissue processing and microscopy workflows. Clearing is an essential step in preparing biological specimens for paraffin embedding and microscopic examination.

During conventional histological processing, tissue samples are dehydrated through a series of alcohol solutions before the clearing stage. A clearing solvent helps replace the dehydrating agent within the tissue and prepares the specimen for infiltration with a suitable embedding medium.

Histo-Clear is designed for laboratory histology procedures involving tissue preparation, paraffin processing and slide preparation. Proper clearing supports the transition between dehydration and paraffin infiltration, contributing to the preparation of specimens for subsequent sectioning and staining.

It is intended for professional laboratory use in histology, pathology, tissue research and microscopy applications. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and the applicable laboratory safety procedures.

Key Features

• Histological clearing solvent for laboratory tissue processing.
• Used in workflows between tissue dehydration and paraffin infiltration.
• Suitable for histology and microscopy sample preparation.
• Supports conventional tissue processing procedures.
• Available in a large-volume 18.9 L container.

Applications

• Histology: Clearing of dehydrated tissue specimens during histological preparation.
• Paraffin Processing: Preparation of tissue samples for paraffin infiltration.
• Pathology Laboratories: Tissue preparation for microscopic examination.
• Microscopy: Preparation of biological specimens for histological slide workflows.
• Research Laboratories: Tissue preparation for morphological and structural studies.

How Does Tissue Clearing Work?

Tissue clearing is a key stage in conventional paraffin histology. It allows a clearing solvent to replace the alcohol used during dehydration, preparing the tissue for paraffin infiltration.

Appropriate processing times depend on tissue type, specimen dimensions, processing equipment and the validated laboratory protocol.
