A fast penetrating E.M. fixative in combination with other fixatives.

Paraformaldehyde is the condensation product of methylene glycol, a substance not so far isolated in its pure form; it is a white solid with a formaldehyde content between 78 and 98% and is supplied either as a Prill or Granular ‐ ask. All forms contain more than 95.5% paraformaldehyde content. The Prill and Granular forms are small, free‐flowing, dust‐free beads, the most desired by EM users. A fast‐penetrating EM fixative used in combination with Glutaraldehyde, Acrolein, and Osmium Tetroxide.

Poly‐l‐lysine treated surfaces offer better adhesion for histological sections and other thin specimens.

0.1% w/v aqueous solution; preservative. Adhesive for tissue sections on glass slides. Immunohistochemical techniques, gold labelling, microwave procedures.

Method: Apply 15μl of 0.1% Poly‐L‐Lysine solution the surface of slides or vessels required to gain better adhesion; then leave at room temperature for one hour or more. Longer times, up to overnight also work well.

Remove the solution and rinse the treated surface twice with distilled water.

To dry, stand surface vertically. The item is then ready to use. Some users prefer to keep the surface wet until ready for use.
