Features

Xylene or other compounds that are compatible with alcohol and paraffin are commonly used as an intermediate agent. PathoClean can be used instead of these compounds in the process of deparaffinization and permeation.

*We recommend PathoMount (Product Number 164-28492, 168-28495) or UI Sol (UI Kasei) as a mounting agent for PathoClean. Please be aware that white turbidity may occur when Marinol (Muto Pure Chemicals Co., Ltd.) is used.
