Chemicals, Microscopic Slides and Cover Glass, Microtome Blades
Speciality chemicals are materials used on the basis of their performance or function. Consequently, in addition to "effect" chemicals they are sometimes referred to as "performance" chemicals or "formulation" chemicals. They can be unique molecules or mixtures of molecules known as formulations.
Laboratory chemicals refer to any chemical that's used in laboratory testing and experiments. Most are standard chemical reagents or simple chemicals that serve as basic ingredients to synthesise more complex chemicals
Common chemicals used in histopathology lab: Four major groups of fixatives are used namely the aldehydes, oxidizing agents, alcohol based fixatives and the metallic group of fixatives. Formalin is the universal fixative in routine histopathology.
Purposes of cleaning agents include health, beauty, removing offensive odor, and avoiding the spread of dirt and contaminants to oneself and others. Cleaning agents can kill bacteria (e.g. door handle bacteria, as well as bacteria on worktops and other metallic surfaces) and clean at the same time. Organic solvents help dissolve oils and fats.
A prepared slide that is made up of a microscope slide, specimen and a cover slip not only gives the viewer better control over the specimen, but protects the microscope as well. The cover slip protects the ocular lens from damage by acting as a barrier between it and the specimen.
Paraffin wax (or petroleum wax) is a soft colorless solid derived from petroleum, coal, or oil shale that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between 20 and 40 carbon atoms
Microtome blades are designed for precise and exact sectioning of tissue specimens. Each blade is manufactured using a sophisticated heating process and excellent polishing and coating techniques, our blades provide smooth, clean cut sections every time.
Hematoxylin precisely stains nuclear components, including heterochromatin and nucleoli, while eosin stains cytoplasmic components including collagen and elastic fibers, muscle fibers and red blood cells.
