EcoFIX
What is EcoFIX ?
EcoFIX is a water-soluble concentrate that does not contain formalin. The patented formula, when diluted with ethanol, has low toxicity. It overcomes the significant drawbacks of previous fixatives like pure alcohol or ethanol-based fixatives, such as tissue wrinkling, cell vacuolation, and nuclear shrinkage.

The ethanol concentration in EcoFIX working solution is approximately 70%, which not only maintains good histological morphology but also allows for ideal DNA/RNA and protein repair, crucial for downstream molecular biology analyses.

Applications of EcoFIX
1.HE Staining：Tissues fixed with EcoFIX show significantly improved quality and display of cellular fine structures.
2.Immunohistochemistry：Significant improvement in immunohistochemical staining due to reduced destructive operations for antigen retrieval.
3.Histochemistry：Special staining can be performed based on existing data without any modifications when using EcoFIX-fixed tissues.
4.Cytology：Particularly suitable for cytological smear fixation compared to ethanol.
5.Molecular Biology：Therefore, EcoFIX facilitates optimal preservation of DNA and RNA, aiding molecular biology research. It is also suitable for specimens stored at -80°C without causing tissue hardening, facilitating sampling.
