Product Overwiew
SCALEVIEW-S4 is a reagent included in the SCALEVIEW-S Trial Kit, which is used in the Scale-S tissue clearing method. In addition to being used as part of the SCALEVIEW-S Trial Kit protocol, an optional simplified protocol allows spheroids and organoids to be cleared simply by immersing them in SCALEVIEW-S4.
Simplified Clearing Protocol for Spheroids/Organoids Using SCALEVIEW-S4 (Optional)
The following is a simplified method for clearing spheroids and organoids using only SCALEVIEW-S4. While this protocol offers ease of use, its clearing efficiency may be slightly lower than that of the SCALEVIEW-S Trial Kit. It is recommended for small-sized spheroids/organoids (approximately, a few hundred µm thick). For clearing spheroids/organoids using the SCALEVIEW-S Trial Kit, please refer to the product overview page of the SCALEVIEW series. Additionally, if spheroids tend to float, the combined use of SCALEVIEW-S0 and SCALEVIEW-A2 is recommended.
Features
- Enabling spheroids and organoids clearing
- Clears spheroids and organoids in about one day1)
- Compatible with Immunostaining and fluorescent dyes staining
Samples suitable for clearing
Spheroids, Organoids, Neurosphere
> Reagents
> Instruments
- Plate for spheroid formation (PrimeSurface 96 Slit-well Plate (Manufacturer Product No. MS-9096S) is convenient.)
- Observation plate (We recommend those with a cover glass on the bottom.)
- SCALEVIEW-S4 fluorescence microscope and recommended objective lens ※1 for clearing specimens
※1 Ensure that the objective lenses are compatible with the refractive indices (RI=1.49).
Consulting the microscope manufacturer before data acquisition is recommended.

Overview / Applications
| Outline | This product is for research use only. Do not administer it to human. SCALEVIEW-S series are reagent used for ScaleS. ScaleS is tissue clearing method developed by Dr. Atsushi Miyawaki etc. This method uses solutions with mainly urea. The tissue is made transparent and adjusted RI for microscopic observation by soaking in 6 kinds of solutions (SCALEVIEW-S0, SCALEVIEW-S1, SCALEVIEW-S2, SCALEVIEW-S3, SCALEVIEW-S4, SCALEVIEW-SMt). 2mm section can be made transparent in 1 day using the reagents. The method can make a transparent tissue keeping the structure of proteins. Therefore it is possible to observe the tissue expressing fluorescent proteins, and to label by antibody and/or fluorescent dye after tissue clearing. It's also applicable to not only mouse and rat brain but also human after dye. The transparent tissue can be observed for electric microscope or confocal microscope. ScaleS is higher transparency than ScaleA2. See the following website for more details. https://labchem-wako.fujifilm.com/us/category/00593.html |
