Decalcification
Designed For Bone Marrow Biopsies and Immunohistochemistry
An advanced decalcification system that removes calcium from bone quickly while leaving superior cellular detail. The I.E.D Unit incorporates a strong cation ion-exchange resin in a weak acid solution to remove calcium ions from bone, replacing them with hydrogen ions. Because the I.E.D Unit does not require strong concentrated acid solutions as in traditional decalcification methods, delicate cellular structures and antigenicity remain intact, providing superior IHC staining.
