Histofluid is a water-clear adhesive of acrylic resins dissolved in xylene. It hardens fast and due to its optical properties suits perfectly well for embedding microscopic preparations. Shortly after having covered a preparation it can already be examined and filed. Histofluid may also be used to firmly lock and seal bottle caps.
long storing or temperature changes do not cause fissures or deformations in Histofluid layers
does not turn yellowish when being exposed to UV-radiation
does not fluorescence
does not form bubbles
even sensitive colorations are preserved due to its acid number = 0
refractive index of 1.5 (nD 20 °C) is adjusted to the microscope slide and cover glass
water-repellent and dissolves in, for example, xylene, acetone, chloroform, dioxan and toluol
can be stored in sealed bottles for an unlimited period
filled into special bottles designed for hazardous materials and bearing the UN code
