General description
DPX (Distyrene, Plasticizer, and Xylene) is a widely utilized mounting medium for immunohistology, specifically designed to be compatible with various detection methods. Introduced in 1939, DPX has become the routine mountant of choice due to its effectiveness in preserving histological stains and providing clear visualization of tissue samples. This mounting medium is a mixture of distyrene (a polystyrene), a plasticizer (initially tricresyl phosphate, now modified to dibutyl phthalate), and xylene, making it a versatile option for histological applications.
Application
DPX组织学封片剂适合用作固定切片的载玻片封片剂。作为封片剂，用于H&E（苏木精-曙红）、尼氏(Nissl)染色和马森三色法(Masson-Goldner)染色样品玻片观察。
