Thermo Scientic™ Shandon™ Formal-Fixx™ Ready-to-Use and Thermo Scientic Shandon Formal-Fixx Concentrate

are neutral buffered formalins designed for use with light and electron microscopy. The

phosphate-free buffering system in both prevents the formation of free formic acid, and its associate artifact,

formalin pigment.

The osmolarity of these xatives allows them to be used not only for light microscopy, but for electron microscopic

studies as well. This eliminates the need to presort specimens for EM.

Formal-Fixx Ready-to-Use is a 10% neutral buffered formalin that is premixed and ready to use from the

container. Formal-Fixx Concentrate is easily diluted to become a 10% neutral buffered formalin.

Instructions for Use

1. Formal-Fixx Ready-to-Use is to be used full strength.
