Color Differentiation

Unlike standard pathology inks, the seven colors of Vividex Tissue Marking Medium are easily differentiated, particularly yellow-orange-red (below) and blue-violet-red (below). All colors of Vividex Tissue Marking Medium are durable throughout processing.

Adherence Across Tissue Types
Vividex Tissue Marking Medium adheres to bone, fat, muscle and serosa. Left to right: yellow on bone; orange on muscle; red on fat; blue on muscle; violet on thyroid.

Adherence in Formalin

Vividex Tissue Marking Medium adheres to tissue when submerged in formalin. Shown above: Vividex Tissue Marking Medium produces no leaching (top row); standard pathology inks show extensive leaching (second row). Leaching in formalin risks cross-contamination of color onto tissue and interference with laboratory equipment. All specimens in photo are shown 24 hours after submersion in formalin.
