ROTI ® Histol ready-to-use, for histology ROTI ® Histol is a natural product, manufactured from untreated orange peel. It consists of 95-98 % limonene, a terpene with a characteristic odour of lemon or orange and can be mixed with IPA, butanol, ethanol and all standard embedding media. No harmful vapours! Clearing agent on the basis of limonene Alternative product for xylene Particularly suitable for histological work by hand Compatible with the mounting medium ROTI ® Histokitt ROTI ® Histol replaces current clearing agents without the need for changing working procedures. The tissue samples are treated particularly gently - they remain smooth and do not become brittle. ROTI ® Histol is particularly suitable for histological work by hand which usually exposes the user to solvent vapours in high concentrations. ROTI ® Histol produces excellent results with ROTI ® Histokitt mounting medium (Art. No. 6638) and special paraffins such as ROTI ® Plast (Art. No. 6642).
