ISOPROPANOL, 99%
VION Biosciences
Optimize your histology workflow with VION Histology Grade Isopropanol (Isopropyl Alcohol). This versatile and high-purity alcohol is an essential reagent for a variety of laboratory applications, including dehydration, clearing, and rinsing steps in tissue processing and staining.
Effective Dehydration & Clearing: VION Histology Grade Isopropanol efficiently removes water from tissue samples, acting as both a dehydrating agent and a common substitute for xylene as a clearing agent. This versatility can streamline your protocols.
Reduced Toxicity (Compared to Xylene): For laboratories seeking to minimize exposure to highly volatile aromatic hydrocarbons, Isopropanol serves as a less toxic alternative for clearing, contributing to a safer working environment.
Excellent Solvent Properties: Ideal for dissolving paraffin wax during deparaffinization steps, ensuring clean removal and optimal subsequent staining. It's also effective for dissolving various stains and for rinse baths.
High Purity for Clean Results: Manufactured to stringent histology-grade standards, our Isopropanol ensures minimal impurities that could interfere with staining reactions or lead to artifacts on your slides. This translates to cleaner, clearer microscopic images.
Consistent Quality: Every batch of VION Histology Grade Isopropanol undergoes rigorous quality control testing to guarantee consistent concentration and performance, ensuring reliability and reproducibility across all your laboratory procedures.
Versatile Laboratory Use: Beyond tissue processing, it's also suitable for cleaning slides, coverslips, and laboratory equipment, ensuring a clean working environment.
