New formula invented for microscope viewing, substitutes for federally controlled drug

In the May issue of Applications in Plant Sciences, researchers introduce Visikol, a proprietary new formulation that effectively clears organisms for viewing under microscopes. Visikol can replace chloral hydrate, which was previously one of the few high-quality clearing solutions but which is regulated by the DEA due to its use as a narcotic. The study tests Visikol’s utility compared to chloral hydrate and demonstrates it as an effective replacement with a higher refractive index.
