Supplemental Product Information:

"Improved TOMEI (iTOMEI)" is a plant tissue-clearing method that specializes TOMEI for fluorescent protein observation by Prof. Sakamoto et al. iTOMEI enables simply transparency and clearly detecting fluorescent protein.
This product can be used as a mounting agent in iTOMEI. Its refractive index is 1.40, optimized to silicone immersion objectives.

Please see a product brochure (PDF) of how to use.

Description

This product enables transparency by simple osmosis in just a few days (more than 2 days) and keeps the fluorescence of a fluorescent protein such as GFP or tdTomato co-expressed as a reporter gene. The refractive index (RI) of this product is optimized to silicone immersion objectives.
The decoloring solution is also required to complete the iTOMEI method.

Storage

The product should be stored at 4 °C.
