Tissue Clearing Service

The Neurobiology Imaging Facility provides following tissue clearing services. Please check with us if you are unsure which clearing protocol would work best for your samples.

Tissue Clearning Protocols

The mouse brain clearing X-Clarity protocol can be used to clear many other tissue samples, e.g. heart, kidney, liver, spinal cord, and embryos, with minimal/no modification. Only the electrophoresis time/condition would be different, and that can be easily optimized.

The bone clearing X-Clarity protocol has an additional sample preparation step, i.e. de-calcification. There is no other major difference between the brain clearing protocol and the bone clearing protocol.
