These uniquely formulated clarifiers increase cell transparency and help to eliminate any background staining caused by adhesives used in the water bath or charged slides, and selectively remove non-specific staining without affecting nuclear staining. After hematoxylin staining, excess hematoxylin is rinsed from the tissue section and slides are exposed to SHURStain Alcoholic Clarifier for 30-60 seconds or SHURStain Aqueous Clarifier for 20-40 seconds.
