General description

Visikol HISTO-2 is an optical clearing agent for biological tissues enabling rapid and easy visualization of tissues in 3D without altering the underlying cellular morphology. Visikol HISTO-2 is fully compatible with immunostaining as well as many common other common fluorescent labels. Using Visikol HISTO-2 with confocal or light sheet microscopy allows researchers to see deeper into tissues than ever before.

Application

  • Optical clearing agent in tissue imaging studies
  • Refractive index matching agent for microscopy

Visikol HISTO products are easy-to-use and ideal for rapid tissue clearing applications. Tissue clearing is completely reversible with no alteration to the tissue.

Features and Benefits

  • Render tissue samples transparent for imaging.
  • Achieve clearer, sharper images in antibody tissue staining applications.
  • The Visikol HISTO tissue clearing process does not affect prior immunolabeling.
  • Save time. The Visikol HISTO method is rapid relative to many popular current tissue clearing techniques.
  • Retain morphology and lipid content in your samples.
  • The HISTO tissue clearing method is easily reversible for follow up 2D histology/IHC or for 3D data validation against traditional histology.
  • Non-toxic.
