Source: Kirchner, K.N., et al., A Hydrophobic Tissue Clearing Method for Rat Brain Tissue. J. Vis. Exp. (2020).This video demonstrates the method of hydrophobic tissue clearing of a rat brain tissue sample. The sample is sequentially dehydrated in methanol, treated with a dichloromethane and methanol mixture to dissolve lipids and pigments, and transferred to dibenzyl ether for complete tissue clearing, enabling detailed imaging without thin sectioning.

Source: Laboratory of Jeff Salacup - University of Massachusetts Amherst The material comprising the living "organic" share of any ecosystem (leaves, fungi, bark, tissue; Figure 1) differs fundamentally from the material of the non-living "inorganic" share (rocks and their constituent minerals, oxygen, water, metals). Organic material contains carbon linked to a series of other carbon and hydrogen molecules (Figure 2), which distinguishes it from inorganic material. Carbon's wide valency range...
FAQs
Changing the solvent balance changes the mixture’s overall polarity and therefore its compatibility with different compounds. Methanol can help disrupt interactions between analytes and soil, sediment, or biological material, while dichloromethane supports extraction of relatively nonpolar compounds. In environmental analysis, this adjustment can broaden recovery before chromatographic separation or instrumental measurement.
The solvents provide complementary chemical behavior rather than performing identical roles. Dichloromethane is relatively nonpolar and volatile, whereas methanol is polar and protic, meaning it can participate in interactions involving hydrogen bonding. Combining these properties helps the solvent system interact with analytes and environmental matrices that would respond differently to either solvent alone.
Recovery depends partly on how strongly target compounds interact with the environmental matrix. Soil, sediment, and biological material can present different interactions that make analytes more or less accessible to the solvent. The chemical properties of the compounds also matter, so solvent polarity must be suitable for the range of analytes being investigated.
A basic workflow contacts the environmental material with the mixed solvent so compounds can transfer from the matrix into the extract. The solvent extract is then separated from the bulk sample and may proceed to chromatographic separation or instrumental measurement. Researchers must control the solvent composition and handling conditions because both affect recovery and safe operation.
A single solvent may interact preferentially with only part of the chemical range present in an environmental sample. The mixed system combines relatively nonpolar and polar, protic behavior, allowing researchers to adjust solvent polarity for more diverse analytes. This can improve the likelihood of recovering compounds with different properties before analytical measurement.
Both dichloromethane and methanol can create health and environmental hazards, so extraction should be performed with appropriate ventilation and protective equipment. Waste should be segregated rather than treated as ordinary material, and disposal must be controlled. These practices reduce exposure risks and limit the release of hazardous solvents during environmental laboratory work.
