  • Reagents are excellent for lipid extraction allowing for increased paraffin infiltration
  • Solvents may be used for special stains
  • Reduce spills with easy-to-pour high-quality dehydrants


Enhance nuclear detail in immunohistochemistry techniques with buffered zinc formalin, obtain similar results to 10% neutral buffered formalin. Unbuffered zinc formalin acts similarly too but without mercury or buffering salts. Epredia 37% Formaldehyde can be used for both histological applications as well as for storage and preservation of tissue specimens.


Signature Series™ Pen-Fix™ is a uniquely buffered alcoholic formalin fixative. Excellent as a frozen section fixation that fixes and dehydrates tissue samples simultaneously. Performs well with fatty or thick tissue samples as the penetration rate is three times faster than 10% neutral buffered formalin.


Carson’s Modified Buffered Formalin is excellent as a general use fixative and may also be used as a fixative for electron microscopy techniques. Epredia Vytac™ is a simple, safe and economical method for disposal of both 10% buffered and unbuffered formalin; including zinc formalin. Vytac™ solution breaks down formalin into inert components neutralizing more than 99% of waste formalin collected.
