Any of the three dimethyl benzene isomers, or a mixture of them, is often referred to as Xylol or Xylene. Each of the three compounds contains a core benzene ring with two methyl groups attached at substituents having the formula (CH3)2C6H4. It appears as a colorless liquid with flammable nature at room temperature.
Solvents developed particularly for medical laboratory studies are often utilized as Histological Grade chemicals. Lab Alley’s Xylene is a highly quality product and is a mixture of xylene and ethyl benzene.
