Two chemical solutions need to be prepared for CLARITY execution. The hydrogel solution contains the monomers necessary to form a hydrogel within the tissue sample. The clearing solution is used to remove the unattached lipids from the tissue sample following hydrogel embedding.
Hydrogel Solution
The following table summarizes the ingredients of the hydrogel solution and their purpose. Amounts are listed for a 400 mL batch of solution.
| Ingredient | Amount | Final Concentration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40% Acrylamide | 40 mL | 4% | Hydrogel network monomer |
| 2% Bis-acrylamide | 10 mL | 0.05% | Small chemical crosslinker |
| VA-044 Initiator | 1 g | 0.25% | Polymerization thermal initiator |
| 16% Paraformaldehyde | 100 mL | 4% | Biomacromolecule crosslinker |
| 10X PBS | 40 mL | 1X | Salt buffer |
| Deionized water | 210 mL | - | Aqueous solvent |
