Differentiation solution comprises acidified ethanol or isopropanol that is used to decolourise hematoxylin stain. The duration of exposure to the solution determines the degree of decolourisation. Differentiation is a crucial step in hematoxylin-eosin staining to achieve the proper colour contrast necessary for visualisation, by selectively removing excess hematoxylin from the tissue section and leaving behind the desired staining intensity.

Spurr resin is a hydrophobic resin. It is less viscous than epon mixtures and is easier to dispense. The low viscosity of the resin contributes to its penetration in tissue, mineral and dense structures. A low viscosity of 60 cps also allows easy penetration into a variety of difficult materials.

Supplier: Merck

Kaiser's glycerol gelatin is an aqueous mounting medium for microscopy and works well with specimens prepared for enzyme, lipid, and immunohistochemistry determinations.

Supplier: Avantor

Mounting medium for coverslipping of slides.

Supplier: SIGMA ALDRICH MICROSCOPY

Suitable for use with large and small mineralized (undecalcified) bone sections. Yields clear, hard blocks for cutting sections. Not water-soluble.

Supplier: VWR Chemicals

Specially used for freezing of surgical parts before the cutting process with cryostat or with a freezing microtome.

Supplier: VWR Chemicals

High viscosity mounting media for cryotomy. Less viscous than O.C.T.

Entellan® new is a new mounting medium for cover slippers and is specially suited for commercial automated mounting instruments that operate with cover slippers. Its viscosity ranges between 250 and 600 mPas, 1,00869 has a small viscosity range. This narrow viscosity range improves and accelerates the application, as neither the dropping rate nor the volume need to be reset after the first run with a new bottle of Entellan® new.
