Collection: Microscopy Reagents

Microscopy Reagents — includes supporting reagents for microscopy, such as cell and tissue stains and clearing reagents that enhance contrast and transparency of biological samples before optical observation. This category combines classic stains with clearing reagents for various samples, from cells to animal and plant tissues.

Reagents in the Microscopy Reagents category are used by histology and cell biology researchers to stain cell nuclei, mucus, or specific tissue structures so they are easily distinguished under a microscope, and to clear biofilm samples, animal tissues, and plant tissues so light can penetrate deeper during three-dimensional imaging. This technique is widely used in fluorescence microscopy and whole-mount imaging.

Example products in this collection: TCI T4032 Clearing Reagent iCBiofilm-H2 [for Biofilm], TCI B6236 23491-45-4 Bisbenzimide H 33258 (0.2mL*5) (1mg/mL in Water) [for Cell Staining], TCI T4031 Clearing Reagent iCBiofilm-H1 [for Biofilm], TCI M0468 51395-97-2 Mucicarmine, TCI T3940 Tissue-Clearing Reagent iTOMEI-D [for Plants], TCI P0588 4548-53-2 Ponceau SX.

Selecting microscopy reagents requires attention to suitability for the sample type (cells, animal tissue, or plant tissue), excitation wavelength for fluorescent dyes, and package format such as ready-to-use solutions at a specified concentration. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
