Which grade fits your application?
Chemicals used on or near patients and chemicals used at the lab bench need different grades. Match the grade on the label and COA to the job.
See our certifications →| Grade | What it means | For nutrient blending | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| USP | Meets the United States Pharmacopeia monograph for identity and purity | Yes — check COA | Preparations, topical use |
| NF | Meets the National Formulary monograph, mainly for excipients | Yes — check COA | Preparation bases, antiseptic formulations |
| Histological | Prepared for tissue processing and staining | No | Tissue processing, slide prep |
| ACS | Meets American Chemical Society reagent specifications | No | Clinical lab reagents |
| Reagent | High purity for general lab use | No | Lab testing, sample prep |
| Lab/Technical | Lab or industrial purity for cleaning and maintenance | No | Surface cleaning, equipment |
What healthcare buyers check before they buy
- Concentration
- Strength and dilution determine contact time; confirm the percentage before you mix or use.
- Registration status
- Surface disinfectant claims usually require an EPA-registered product; check the label before relying on one.
- Grade & monograph
- USP or NF for preparations; histological or reagent grade for lab work — check the COA.
- Formalin buffering
- Buffered formalin helps protect tissue morphology and staining quality.
- Hazmat & shipping
- Alcohols, xylene and formalin are hazardous; some ship only to commercial addresses.

Healthcare buyer questions
What is histological grade ethanol?
Histological grade ethanol is supplied for tissue processing, such as dehydrating specimens before clearing and embedding. It is not intended for patient use.
Do you carry buffered formalin for specimens?
Yes. We carry Formaldehyde 10% Buffered along with 4%, 8% and 37% formaldehyde solutions. Formaldehyde is hazardous, so follow your facility's exposure and handling program.
Can your alcohols be used to wipe down surfaces?
70% isopropyl and ethyl alcohol are widely used to wipe surfaces and equipment. If your facility requires an EPA-registered disinfectant, check the product label first.
Do you sell hematoxylin and eosin stains?
Yes. We carry Harris hematoxylin solution and eosin Y solution for H&E staining, plus Gram stain kits for microbiology.
Can I get a COA and SDS?
Yes. A lot-specific Certificate of Analysis and the SDS are available for every product.
Do you accept purchase orders from hospitals?
Yes. We accept purchase orders, and net terms are available through a credit application. Federal facilities can also order through GSA Advantage.
