Description

Achieve superior histological clarity and optimal tissue morphology with our research-grade Carnoy’s Solution.

When your research demands rapid, high-quality fixation and exceptional preservation of nuclear detail, Carnoy’s Solution is the gold standard. Specially formulated for the demanding histologist, our 500mL reagent offers rapid penetration and unmatched efficacy for a wide range of laboratory applications.

Why Choose Our Carnoy’s Solution?

  • Ultra-Rapid Fixation: Carnoy’s solution is prized for its ability to penetrate tissues faster than traditional formalin-based fixatives. Its unique non-aqueous blend ensures that specimens are hardened and ready for processing in a fraction of the time, making it ideal for urgent diagnostic workflows and busy histology labs.
  • Superior Nuclear Preservation: Experience crisp, clean, and well-defined nuclear structures. Carnoy’s is renowned for its ability to maintain excellent chromatin detail, providing the clarity required for high-resolution cytological analysis and chromosome studies.
  • Optimal for Carbohydrate and Nucleic Acid Analysis: Unlike standard fixatives that can mask or degrade specific cellular components, Carnoy’s solution is the preferred choice for the preservation of glycogen and various nucleic acids. It allows researchers to achieve cleaner stains and more reliable results in histochemical assays.
  • Minimal Shrinkage & Distortion: While all fixatives involve some degree of tissue processing, our meticulously standardized blend is designed to minimize excessive tissue shrinkage, ensuring that your samples maintain their architectural integrity for more accurate downstream analysis.
  • Ready-to-Use Convenience: Save time on reagent preparation. This 500mL bottle is pre-mixed to exact scientific specifications, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and removing the safety risks associated with handling bulk concentrated glacial acetic acid, chloroform, and ethanol separately.

Key Applications

Carnoy’s Solution is the essential tool for:

  • Cytogenetics: Perfect for chromosome spreading and analysis.
  • Histology: Excellent for observing cell nuclei and cytoplasmic inclusions.
  • Glycogen Staining: The superior choice when preparing tissue sections for PAS (Periodic Acid-Schiff) staining.
  • In-Situ Hybridization: Provides the structural stability needed for sensitive molecular detection methods.

Product Specifications

  • Volume: 500mL
  • Composition: A precise mixture of Ethanol (60%), Chloroform (30%), and Glacial Acetic Acid (10%).
  • Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and open flames.
