Aqueous mounting medium

General description

Kaiser′s glycerol gelatin - phenol-free for microscopy, is an aqueous, phenol-free mounting medium consisting of gelatine and glycerol, and is used primarily in the mounting of stained histology specimens (e. g. HEMATOGNOST Fe^™ - staining kit (Product number 1.12084). The pH of the product lies in the neutral range. Prior to use, the mounting medium is melted in the heating cabinet at approx. 40 °C and is dropped onto the specimen from the practical dropping bottle. The preservative phenol has been replaced with a proprietary compound that is more environmentally friendly. This affords the unique advantage of eliminating phenol fumes when the medium is heated before use. CE-certified, IVD aqueous mounting media developed specifically for use in histological applications is essential in the support of formal quality assurance programs to monitor staining performance in pathology laboratories.
