Bottle of concentrated propylene phenoxytol, also known as 1-phenoxy-2-propanol or propylene glycol phenyl ether. Propylene phenoxetol is a non-volatile, colourless and odourless preservative which ensures tissues remain soft and suitable for dissection. For best results, fresh specimens should be first fixed in formalin, washed, and then immersed in propylene phenoxetol. Can also be used to store preserved chordata specimens once packaging has been opened.
To use, dilute to a 1% solution by mixing with hot water (90°C) then allow to cool before use. 100mL of concentrated phenoxetol makes 10L of solution; 25mL makes 2.5L.
