Description
HCl-ethanol solution 3% is a ready-to-use reagent prepared for histology workflows that require controlled acid–alcohol treatment of tissue sections. The solution combines hydrochloric acid in ethanol at the stated 3% level, supporting differentiation, destaining, or related histological steps where an ethanolic HCl medium is specified. Key physical properties include a density of approximately 0,9 g/cm³, a flash point of 22 °C, and a boiling point of 78 °C. Transport classification is indicated as UN number 2924. HCl-ethanol solution 3% from manufacturer Carl ROTH is suited to routine histology laboratories that prefer pre-mixed acid–alcohol for consistent section processing. Density, flash-point, and boiling-point data assist safe handling assessments and internal documentation. The plastic bottle presentation is practical for staining stations and shared histology benches, while the defined composition supports reproducible protocols without additional dilution steps before use.
This article is part of Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), in Solvents.

What is this article?
HCl-ethanolsolution 3%, for histology, ready-to-use, 500 ml, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
An analytical-grade solvent, often marked p.a., has impurity limits tight enough for classical analysis and for preparing reagents. It is not automatically low enough in UV absorbance for HPLC, and it is not dry enough for a water-sensitive reaction. The grade is the purchase.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Analytical grade solvents (p.a.). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
