Decal I will simultaneously decalcify whilst continuing fixation to offset possible inadequate primary fixation.
It is the most commonly used type of Decalcifier offering a gentler decalcification than other acid based products. Needle Biopsies can be completely fixed and decalcified in less than 1 hour, with small calcified specimens and bone marrow biopsies taking 2-4 hours.
Also offers more daily control of the decalcification process, whilst offering the additional benefit of allowing the end point to be X-Rayed.
Ideal for very small bone pieces or needle biopies but can also be used as a pre-treatment on larger specimens when combined with our Decal II rapdi decalcification solution.
