Orange oil based clearing agent providing rapid clearing without the toxic hazard of xylene.

Histo-Clear

Rapid Clearing without the Toxic Hazards of Xylene
Biodegradable
Superior Results with Low Citrus Odor
Natural Product with Food Grade Rating World-Wide

The use of Histo-Clear in the laboratory means no longer having to breathe xylene when preparing histological sections. Distilled from oranges, carefully purified, and stabilized, Histo-Clear is one of the safest clearing agents available.

Histo-Clear not only improves safety but also results. Histo-Clear leaves tissue less hard and brittle than xylene, facilitating the cutting of thin sections and prolonging microtome blade life. Nuclear morphology is rendered in fine detail. Histo-Clear enhances the clarity and vibrance of acidophilic stains and improves staining of Harris™ Hematoxylin with a brighter Eosin background. Histo-Clear can directly substitute for xylene and yields excellent results in automated tissue processing.
