The blades and knifes consumables are for use with microtomes and cryostats. Microtomes and cryostats are devices used to produce consistent thickness slices of tissue samples, they are then mounted on glass slides, stained and typically examined by microscopy. Microtomes for light microscopy typically use disposable blades, to maintain the quality of the cut and thus the section quality. Therefore they must be changed regularly. The frequency of changing depends on the number of sections cut, hardness of the tissue and appropriate use.

Fixation is the initial and most important step of histology specimen preparation in pathology. 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin is the most used fixative in the histology laboratory, but in certain circumstances, other fixatives may be desired according to tissue type or subsequent pretreatment or staining technique. Pen-Fix is an alcoholic formalin variation with the addition of a proprietary buffer salt.

Clear-Rite, Citrus Clearing Solvent, Xylene Substitute, Xylene, and Toluene are a group of solvents known to act as clearing reagents in the histology laboratory for tissue processing and staining. These clearing reagents are used to “clear” tissue or make it permeable to paraffin in tissue processing. In staining, Clearants are used after alcohol which dehydrates the tissue to enable the slide to be cover slipped with a resinous mounting media.

Formal-Fixx is a variation of neutral buffered formalin with a differing buffering system. This fixative is designed especially for use with the Cytoblock processing gel. The phosphate-free buffering system prevents the formation of free formic acid, and its associated artifacts, formalin pigment. The osmolality of these fixatives allows them to be used not only for light microscopy but for electron microscopic studies as well. Zinc Formal-Fixx Concentrate is the same formulation as Formal-Fixx Concentrate but includes the mineral zinc to enhance the nuclear detail of the specimen.

Eosin-Y is an acidified, alcoholic counterstain that provides excellent delineation of cytoplasmic components and stains the cytoplasm of muscle, red blood cells, and connective tissue three distinct color hues of pink to red. Eosin-Y provides excellent contrast between cytoplasmic components and the bluish-purple hues of the nuclear chromatin.

Hematoxylin 7211 is a rapid, progressive hematoxylin. The product is a hybrid between classical Harris and Gill formulations: it provides the classic intensity and hues of a Harris hematoxylin and the rapid progressive qualities of a Gill hematoxylin. Differentiation is not required, but if desired Clarifier 1 should be used. Clarifier 1 will eliminate any background staining that may be caused by the use of excess gelatin or other adhesives in the water bath. Clarifier 2 can be used as well; however, a shorter immersion time is required. Hematoxylin 7211 does not have an affinity for acid mucopolysaccharide (mucin) staining, as do some other hematoxylin formulations. It provides consistent, well-delineated nuclear staining results.

Hematoxylin 7212 is a darker and more color intensive version of Hematoxylin 7211. It contains most of the attributes and features of the Hematoxylin 7211 stain; however, Hematoxylin 7212 does have a slight affinity for mucin staining.

Hematoxylin 1 is a rapid, progressive hematoxylin designed to produce staining characteristics, intensities, and hues similar to Gill 1 & 2 hematoxylins. Hematoxylin 2 is a darker and more color intensive version of the Hematoxylin 1 stain.

Bluing Reagent is intended to be used as an aid in hematoxylin staining for the diagnosis of general pathology specimens. Bluing Reagent is a buffered alkaline rinse that shifts the final hue of hematoxylin from reddish-blue to traditional blue-purple. Unlike ammonia water and lithium carbonate, Bluing Reagent inhibits pH changes that can adversely affect nuclear detail and “crispness”.

Clarifier™ 2 is an aqueous glacial acetic acid rinse designed to eliminate background staining sometimes caused by excessive adhesives in the water bath such as gelatin. Clarifier™ 2 selectively removes hematoxylin staining from excess adhesive without affecting nuclear staining. This product is only effective with progressive staining an should not be used with regressive stains. Clarifier 2 was designed to be used in histology only. Clarifier™ 2 is designed for use after staining with progressive hematoxylins. After tissues have been sufficiently stained with a progressive hematoxylin, slides are removed from the stain and excess hematoxylin is removed by rinsing the sections in water. The sections are then placed into Clarifier™ 2 for 20 seconds to 40 seconds. A 1-minute water rinse should follow as this stops the reaction and rinses excess acid from the tissue section.

The Paraffin line is specially designed for tissue processing and embedding of histological and cytological specimens. The product is a white solid at room temperature and a clear, liquid when molten. The paraffin can be used with both open and closed tissue processors. It is also compatible with all embedding centers and manual embedding techniques. Paraffin is used in tissue processing during the infiltration steps. Melting points and polymer content differ between formulations. Choosing which type of paraffin may depend on the tissue density or personal preference of the histotechnician. Softer kinds of paraffin with less polymer tend to infiltrate tissue slightly quicker during processing but yield a softer block during embedding. Softer kinds of paraffin better lend themselves to thicker sections during microtomy. Harder kinds of paraffin with a higher polymer content usually take a little more time to infiltrate the tissue during processing but yield harder blocks that allow thinner sectioning during microtomy. Harder tissue specimens are better supported with a harder paraffin block.
