Collection: Animal Tissue-Clearing Reagents
Animal Tissue-Clearing Reagents — covers a series of reagents based on CUBIC formulations designed to remove tissue opacity in animal tissue through delipidation and refractive index adjustment. This reagent series works in stages, from initial immersion to final refractive index matching of the tissue.
These tissue-clearing reagents are used by neuroscience and developmental biology researchers to make animal brain tissue or organs transparent before three-dimensional lightsheet or confocal microscopy imaging. The usage steps include delipidation with reagents such as CUBIC-B and CUBIC-X1/X2, followed by refractive index matching immersion using CUBIC-R+(N) to obtain whole visualization of the tissue structure.
Example products in this collection: TCI T3983 Tissue-Clearing Reagent CUBIC-R+(N) [for Animals], TCI C3709 CUBIC-HV(TM)1 3D nuclear staining kit, TCI T3867 Tissue-Clearing Reagent CUBIC-X2 [for Animals], TCI C3717 CUBIC-HV(TM)1 3D immunostaining kit (Casein separately), TCI T3866 Tissue-Clearing Reagent CUBIC-X1 [for Animals], TCI C3942 CUBIC trial kit (including mounting solution), TCI T3782 Tissue-Clearing Reagent CUBIC-P [for Animals], TCI M3292 Mounting Solution (RI 1.467) [for CUBIC-X2].
Please note the appropriate protocol step (delipidation, decolorization, or refractive index matching) because each reagent in this series is designed for a specific order of use and does not replace one another. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
