FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Cedar Wood Oil Natural?
When stored in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed, the oil retains its properties for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this oil be used as a substitute for xylene in histology?
While Cedar Wood Oil shares some clearing properties with xylene, it is not a direct substitute due to differences in refractive index and solvent strength. Always validate compatibility with your specific protocol.
