- Easy detection of lymph nodes: an easy gray-white contrast following FineFIX fixation
FineFIX is a patented formalin-free, water-based concentrate. When diluted with ethanol, its formulation of low toxicity additives overcomes the drawbacks commonly associated with the use of pure ethanol or ethanol based fixatives, e.g., significant tissue shrinkage, vacuolization and pyknotic nuclei.
FineFIX also provides optimal preservation of tissue antigens, nuclear and cytoplasmic morphology and reduced lysis of red blood cells with preservation of the cytoplasmic membranes.
FineFIX working solution is prepared by mixing 1 part of FineFIX concentrated to 3 parts of ethanol (98%). The ethanol concentration in the working solution of FineFIX is approximately 70%. This concentration was found to produce good histology and to allow optimal recovery of DNA/RNA and proteins, sufficient for several downstream molecular analyses.
- 5-8 minutes cleaning cycle for cassette racks, base molds and accessories
- Fully automatic operation
- No xylene
HistosMATE is an innovative, safe, rapid solution for the efficient cleaning of wax contaminated racks, molds and forceps.
3 steps for a rapid rack cleaning:
1) Load the rack - The cavity holds non- toxic isoparaffin at a constant 50°C.
2) Push START - The heated isoparaffin is constantly stirred to assure rapid and efficient elimination of wax traces.
3) Unload the clean rack - The entire process takes 7 minutes.
