Description
HistoMED 4 % formaldehyde is a ready-to-use fixative solution presented in prefilled containers at pH 7 for in vitro diagnostic histology workflows. The buffered 4 % formaldehyde preparation is intended to support consistent tissue fixation without on-site dilution steps, helping laboratories standardise specimen handling from receipt through processing. Density is approximately 1 g/cm³ and the boiling point is 100 °C, in line with aqueous formaldehyde fixatives used in routine histopathology. This pack comprises 120 prefilled units from manufacturer Carl ROTH, suited to high-throughput or multi-station laboratories that prefer single-use or pre-measured containers for fixation. The pH 7, ready-to-use format reduces preparation variability and supports reproducible fixation conditions across batches. HistoMED 4 % formaldehyde is positioned for in vitro diagnostics applications where controlled formaldehyde fixation is required prior to embedding, sectioning, and staining. Physical data from the manufacturer description—density about 1 g/cm³ and boiling point 100 °C—reflect typical aqueous fixative behaviour. Use only in accordance with your laboratory’s IVD procedures and applicable safety guidance for formaldehyde-containing reagents.

What is this article?
HistoMED 4 % formaldehyde, prefilled containers, pH 7, ready-to-use, 120 pieces is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Histology reagents & consumables, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
Histology reagents are the fixatives, the solvents, the paraffins and the stains that turn a tissue into a readable section. The stain and the tissue, not the bottle size alone, choose the reagent. Many of these liquids are flammable or toxic and travel under dangerous-goods rules.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
