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”.

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.

Coverplate is a plastic device that fits over a standard microscope slide allowing specimens to be immune-stained with a minimum amount of reagent. The Coverplate creates a capillary gap between itself and the slide, allowing for reagent to stay in place until the next reagent is dispensed. The Coverplate displaces reagent by gravity flow.

All reagents are sequentially aligned to allow the slide to be moved from one jar to the next.

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.

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.
