Methanol

Methanol is a high-purity solvent suitable for hematology, microbiology, cytology, and general laboratory use. Commonly used as a fixative for blood smears and microbiological preparations, it is ideal for differential staining protocols. This clear, colorless solvent provides consistent performance for reliable slide preparation, cell morphology evaluation, and analytical results. It is also widely used for solvent extraction, cleaning, reagent preparation, and other routine laboratory applications. Supplied in chemically compatible containers, methanol is appropriate for clinical, research, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories.
