Glyo-Fixx is a non-carcinogenic, non-sensitizing and environmentally friendly substitute for formalin.
The active ingredient, glyoxal, is a two-carbon di-aldehyde which has almost no vapor pressure.
Convenient-uses the same protocols as with formalin.
Glyo-Fixx does not have the unpleasant odor of formaldehyde.
Results are superior to neutral buffered formalin, producing distinct and crisp cellular morphology.
Does not cross-link as formaldehyde does. It fixes most antigens without impairing their immunoreactivity.
With Glyo-Fixx, higher antibody dilutions can be used.
Works well with conventional special stains including silver procedures, Schmorl’s for reducing substances, PAS, Alcian blue, mucicarmine, Verheoff-Van Gieson for elastin, and trichrome.
Allows special stain colors to be sharp without background staining. It also presents fine detail in specimen structure.
