Xylene Alternatives for Histology Laboratories

Histolene
A commonly used xylene substitute in histology laboratories. It provides effective tissue clearing and deparaffinization but is typically flammable and may produce noticeable solvent odour, requiring careful handling and storage.

Solv-21
A next-generation clearing solvent designed to provide effective tissue processing while improving laboratory safety. Solv-21 is non-flammable, contains no toxins or carcinogens, and is not classified as Dangerous Goods, making it easier to transport, store, and use in laboratory environments.

Why Choose Solv-21?

Solv-21 is a safer, non-flammable alternative to traditional clearing solvents such as xylene and other xylene substitutes, offering reliable tissue processing performance while reducing many of the hazards associated with conventional solvents.
