General description
Neo-Clear™ (xylene substitute) - for microscopy, is an aliphatic hydrocarbon mixture that can substitute the same applications as xylene in the histo-medical lab - histoprocessing, deparaffination and clearing after dehydration in staining process. It is not necessary to change methods or incubation times when using Neo-Clear™ instead of xylene. As the evaporation rate of Neo-Clear™ is lower then xylene, it has less odor and the disturbing smell in the lab is reduced significantly. Neo-Clear™ is more sensitive against water in solvents (turbidity can occur), thus, it is essential to avoid technical qualities of solvents. It is an IVD registered product and CE certified, thus can be used for clinical diagnostic purposes. For more details, please see instructions for use (IFU). The IFU can be downloaded from this webpage.

Is it possible to use NeoClear with paraffin tissue that was initially processed using Xylene?
1 answer-
After embedding the slides in paraffin, Neoclear or Xylene can be used to clear the slides and remove the paraffin before staining. If NeoClear is chosen, NeoMount should serve as the permanent mounting media. It is generally not recommended to use NeoClear and a xylene-based permanent mounting media, as the standard practice in histology is to use a clearing agent that matches the permanent mounting media. If an aqueous mounting media is utilized, the slides are stained, washed in water, and then coverslipped with the aqueous mounting media. In the case of aqueous mounting media, the slides do not undergo NeoClear or Xylene treatment.
