As of January 2002, Leica Microsystems Nussloch offers a new clearing reagent for various histology processes.

STUltra is an ISO-Paraffin based clearing reagent. ISO-paraffin’s are considered to be environmentally friendly and therefore the ideal alternative to Xylene, Toluene, and Citric clearing reagents.

STUltra is designed to be used as a Xylene replacement during tissue deparaffinization and embedding processes, staining and coverslipping.

If used for coverslipping, it can only be used with Leica CVUltra.

Leica STUltra is:

• Non carcinogenic



• Non-toxic



• Non-flammable



• Dermatological inert

Leica STUltra is available in a 10 liter tin can. The order number is 0709 36260.

Leica STUltra will be available ex stock from January 2002 onwards.

STUltra is manufactured by J.T. Baker, Holland, a Tyco Special Products Company.
