Ek Industries Laboratory Reagents & Fixatives

Ek Industries supplies the reagent-grade chemistry, histology fixatives, and blood bank solutions that laboratories depend on for accurate, repeatable results. For lab managers and pathology techs sourcing these products, the questions are always the same: What grade is it? Is it ready to use? And how does it ship? This collection answers those directly with reagents built to recognized standards and packaged for real workflow demands.

The chemistry reagents are formulated to Reagent Grade / ASTM Type I purity — the benchmark for analytical work where trace contaminants can skew results. You'll find them in practical volumes to match your throughput, from the 1-gallon bottle (15335-GAL) for smaller benches to the 10-liter cube and 20-liter cubitainer for high-volume operations. The cube and cubitainer formats stack cleanly, dispense without decanting into secondary vessels, and reduce the handling risk that comes with heavy glass.

For anatomic pathology and histology, Ek Industries offers 1-gallon liquid fixative (4499-GAL) plus prefilled formalin containers that eliminate the most tedious and hazardous part of specimen collection. These graduated polypropylene containers arrive pre-charged with 10% neutral buffered formalin — a 10 mL fill in a 20 mL cup or a 20 mL fill in a 40 mL cup — so staff drop the specimen in and cap it, no measuring or pouring of formalin at the bench. They're non-sterile, disposable, and shipped in cases of 100, matching the pace of a busy grossing station.

Transfusion services will find immunohematology reagents as well, including a 10-liter blood bank solution (12441-10L) sized for reference labs and higher-volume donor testing.
