HISTOCHOICE™MB®* – The Molecular Biology Fixative

Description

SAFE – Contains no Formaldehyde, Glutaraldehyde or Mercury. NON-TOXIC – Is completely odorless and can be safely disposed of down the drain. HISTOCHOICE™ MB® Tissue Fixative is the first fixative designed for the molecular biologist. It is specialty formulated to preserve antigenic sites for antibody probes and nucleic acid sites for immunohistochemistry. HISTOCHOICE™MB® replaces formaldehyde based, alcohol based, Zenkers, B-5, B-3, Bouin’s and other fixatives with superior results. Tissue fixed in HISTOCHOICE™MB® exhibit vibrant staining, better nuclear and cytoplasmic detail, and will retain a crisp appearance even after long-term fixation. Because this formula is designed specially for molecular biology applications, HISTOCHOICE™MB® fixed sections do not require pre-digestion or other recovery procedures to make important sites available.This means you spend less time preparing slides and more time doing research. More than a fixative, HISTOCHOICE™MB® is a preservative that leaves antigens and nucleic acids in their native state, allowing binding for specific probes. Primary antibodies can often be diluted several-fold due to the increased number of preserved antigenic sites, saving cost on every slide you process. HISTOCHOICE™MB® fixed tissue retains a much more natural look and feel than formalin fixed tissue. It is important to remember that these tissues are not fixed by formalin, but rather preserved by HISTOCHOICE™MB®. MSDS * HISTOCHOICE is registered name of Amresco
