CAT Haematoxylin Product Code: CATHE |
This formulation provides incredible nuclear detail in routine H&E and immunoperoxidase procedures, as well as for some special stains. This haematoxylin requires virtually no filtering and produces minimum scum due to oxidation. It has been specially formulated to eliminate the necessity for differentiation, and staining time is 30 seconds to 5 minutes, depending upon the type of procedure it is used for. The addition of acetic acid to Haematoxylin’s preparation is believed to increase the selectivity of the stain. The formula has also been designed to slow down the oxidation process, thus stabilising the haematoxylin. There is no mercury used in the preparation of this product; glycerol has been added as a stabiliser to help prevent over-oxidation and rapid evaporation. | Hematoxuylin | MP-HX |

Ecomount Product code: EM897 |
Ecomount is a low hazard, non-toxic, non-flammable, and environmentally friendly mounting medium. This polymer-based mounting medium does not contain hazardous reagents such as xylene, toluene or benzene. Ecomount is designed for the permanent preservation of HRP, AP and Qdot immunofluorescent techniques. Ecomount allows for the long-term storage of slides with organic solvent-soluble chromogens such as Vulcan Fast Red and Ferangi Blue chromogens. It can also be used for DAB and other non-soluble chromogens. Ecomount dries quickly and retains excellent refractivity. Ecomount is compatible for use on automatic coverslipping machines. |
