Catalog NO: IHA040104
Size: 100 mL; 1 L
Introduction:Deparaffinator 20X with Citrate solution is intended for paraffin removal from paraffin-embedded tissues, hydrating and heat permeabilizing tissues to achieve epitope or nucleic acid retrieval. The Deparaffinator 20X with Citrate is an innovative reagent formulated to reduce exposure to toxic solvents and reduces the number of steps in deparaffinization, hydration and epitope or nucleic acid retrieval, thus making it a safe and efficient alternative to traditional deparaffinization involving the use of xylenes and alcohol. Since they do not interfere with the detection of proteins by Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry, or of nucleic acids by CISH and FISH, results are the same as when using xylene and alcohol. The deparaffinization procedure with Deparaffinator 20X with Citrate solution uses a heat-assisted deparaffinization method while achieving tissue hydration and retrieval of proteins and nucleic acids. Deparaffinization at moderately elevated temperatures has been shown to adequately dissolve paraffin at significantly lower solvent concentrations compared to methods of deparaffinization at ambient temperatures using xylenes and/or xylene substitutes. These reagents are designed to deparaffinize, rehydrate and retrieve one microscope slide containing a standard size (from 0.5 cm x 1 cm up to 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm diameter) paraffin-embedded tissue section per 3 mL of Deparaffinator with Citrate 1X. A typical staining dish containing 200-250 mL will deparaffinize approximately 72 standard tissue sections. If larger tissue sections are used, the number of processed slides may be less. If residual paraffin is observed microscopically on the slides following deparaffinization, the deparaffinization reagents should be replaced.
