KODAK NTB Emulsion

Carestream Molecular Imaging manufactures nuclear track material, type NTB, for use in the detection of radio labeled samples in techniques such as in-situ hybridization..

This emulsion is specifically designed to:

• facilitate microscopic examination of individual silver grains in the developed emulsion layer, and
• confirm the passage of ionizing radiation.

NTB has a high silver-to-gelatin ratio of very fine, uniform silver grains (which results in high resolution), and a very low level of background fog.

NTB Emulsion should be stored between 4C and 13C. Do not freeze them! At these temperatures the emulsion appears solid and upon heating will become liquefied for use. Autoradiography emulsions should be used prior to the indicated expiration date. A 4-oz. container is suitable for coating approximately 200 slides.

Processing Instructions

KODAK NTB emulsion should be processed manually using KODAK D-19 Developer and KODAK Fixer.

Darkroom Handling

KODAK NTB emulsion should be handled under proper safelight conditions using the KODAK Darkroom Illuminator LED Safelight (other safelights may cause increased background fog).
