58 devices · GMDN 43550
This category covers substances designed to prepare biological specimens for microscopic examination. They create a protective seal between the slide, specimen, and coverslip to preserve tissue integrity and maintain stain quality. These media also improve optical clarity, resulting in sharper and more reliable diagnostic images.
These products are classified as in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices because they directly support clinical laboratory testing. Their primary function is specimen preservation and optical enhancement rather than therapeutic action. Manufacturers must ensure these formulations are compatible with standard histological stains and examination techniques.
