Solvent reagent X-Free

for histology

A xylene substitute solvent for use in histology and cytology procedures. Primary container: white bottle in polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Useful capacity 2.5 liters. HDPE cap. Tamper evident cap. The polyethylenterephthalate is a thermoplastic polymer of the polyester family. PET is an optimal oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gasses barrier. This material has an high resistance to ultraviolet radiation and an inertia toward the mainly chemical agents (solvents: xylene, limonene, liquid paraffines, alcohols, acids, bases etc.). It is biologically inert. It constitutes a good water and humidity barrier. It shows a great hardness and mechanical resistance. The bottle has an optimal grip. The absence of the handles reduces space for storage. The anti-dropping cap permits a precise and clean use. Secondary container: carton box Primary container: white bottle in Polyethylene High Density (HDPE). Useful capacity 5 l. HDPE cap. Tamper evident cap. Wear, water, alcohol and solvents resistant PVC label. Scratchproof ink resistant to water and alcohol. Product for the preparation of cyto-histological samples for optical microscopy. Appearance: clear liquid free from suspended matter Density: 0.7-0.72 kg/l Boiling point: 90°C minimum Dry point: >200°C maximum Dry residue: 5 mg/Kg maximum Diisononylphthalate: 3% m/m maximum Aliphatic content (Heptanes): 80% m/m minimum. Procedures of the pathology and cytology laboratory. It is mixable with alcohols (ethanol, isopropanol, butanol), waxes and mounting media.
