Solusol is a superior solubilizing agent which may be used with a wide variety of samples. Solusol accepts large aqueous samples and accommodates most animal and plant tissues and tissue homogenates with minimal quenching and high efficiency. Solusol has also been efficiently used to recover labeled samples from polyacrylamide gels.

Simply add sample to a glass scintillation vial with a nonmetallic cap (pre-wet sample if tissue is dehydrated). Add Solusol to sample vial, allow to digest and then count. An aromatic-based scintillation solution is recommended for counting. National Diagnostics' Soluscint XR (Order No. LS-314) is ideally suited for this purpose. Occasionally, solvent loss may occur during digestion and a turbid solution results upon addition of the scintillation fluid. This can be avoided by using a scintillation solution composed of 90% Soluscint O and 10% Soluscint A.

Storage: Solusol is best stored tightly capped in the freezer under nitrogen.
