The X-CLARITY is an all-in-one system with ready-to-use reagents used to standardise, simplify and accelerate the tissue clearing process – the transformation of biological tissue into a transparent state to light.
X-CLARITY has a unique design that accelerates the removal of lipids from tissues in a highly efficient manner. It enables ultrafast (in just 6 hours!) and reproducible clearing results to aid subsequent whole tissue 3D and fluorescence imaging.
Preserved tissues are embedded in a hydrogel matrix and lipids are actively extracted through electrophoresis to create a stable and optically transparent tissue-hydrogel hybrid that is chemically accessible for multiple rounds of antibody labeling and imaging. Native cytoarchitecture remains intact and even endogenous fluorescence proteins are preserved for robust fluorescence imaging downstream.
