Tissue Clearing Pro is a solvent-based tissue clearing technique, comparable to BABB and DISCO
It does not cause significant shrinkage or tissue damage and does not use as harsh a solvent as other solvent-based techniques
Tissue Clearing Pro Reagent 2 is part of our Tissue Clearing Pro kit (Cat
No
7389) that can clear a whole mouse brain of up to 8 mm thickness in 24 hours; for sections with a thickness of 1 mm this can be achieved in 2 hours
For small tissues and thin brain slices (500 μm) that do not require permeabilization, only Tissue Clearing Pro Reagent 1 (Cat
No
7563) is required and tissues can be imaged in Tissue Clearing Pro Reagent 1
Larger tissues must be placed in Tissue Clearing Pro Reagent 2 to finish clearing, then these samples can be mounted and imaged in Tissue Clearing Pro Reagent 2
This product is compatible with fluorescent protein, immunolabeling and small molecule staining techniques, as well as being suitable for use with all standard dyes and buffers
Following 3D imaging, clearing can be reversed for follow-up 2D histology staining
Tissue Clearing Pro Reagent 2 has a refractive index of 1.53
