Exceptional Protection of Fluorescent Proteins (FP) and Endogenous Molecular Information

Get the first step of tissue processing right with our easy & reliable solution kit(Compatible with SmartClear II Pro)

Superior Tissue Preservation

Versatile: Safeguards endogenous fluorescence, protein antigenicity, nucleic acids, and overall tissue architecture. Synergizes with a range of existing tissue processing approaches including SWITCH (Cell, 2015) and MAP (NBT, 2016). Other preservation techniques, such as PFA preservation alone, can lead to information loss due to physical or chemical stressors experienced during processing steps. 

Easy, Reliable, Fast, & Safe

Easy & Reliable: Superior tissue preservation without the variability of hydrogel embedding. Compatible with both non-fixed and PFA-fixed tissues.

Fast: Streamlined protocol preserves samples in a matter of days with minimal steps.

Safe: Reagents are non-toxic and can be easily disposed of after use.

Tissue for Multi-Round Processing

Repeated Staining & Imaging: Protects tissue during FP-imaging and antibody labeling across individual rounds.
