Rapid Fixation: Methanol acts as an effective dehydrating fixative, rapidly denaturing proteins to preserve cellular morphology, particularly useful for blood smears, cytological preparations, and certain histochemical applications where quick processing is essential.
Excellent Solvent: Ideal for dissolving a wide range of dyes and reagents, ensuring proper concentration and consistent staining in various histological protocols. It is also highly effective for lipid extraction in specific research applications.
High Purity: Manufactured to stringent histology-grade standards, our Methanol is rigorously purified to minimize contaminants that could interfere with delicate staining reactions or introduce unwanted artifacts. This translates to cleaner, clearer microscopic images.
Versatile Laboratory Use: VION Histology Grade Methanol is suitable for:
Fixing Blood and Bone Marrow Smears: Provides rapid and even fixation, crucial for hematological staining.
Cytological Fixation: Excellent for fixing fine needle aspirates and other cytological specimens.
Reagent Preparation: A prime solvent for preparing various stains and solutions, ensuring their stability and performance.
Dehydration Steps: Can be used as a dehydrating agent in certain tissue processing protocols.
Consistent Quality: Every batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing to guarantee consistent concentration and performance, ensuring reliability and reproducibility across all your critical laboratory procedures.
