Low viscosity embedding medium. Penetrates specimens readily and completely. The epoxy component is completely miscible with water. Polymerizes in about 24 hours at 60º C. Learn More
Mixture of purified paraffin and carefully sized plastic polymers formulated to provide specimen support for serial sectioning down to 4 µm with minimal cell shrinkage and distortion. Supplied in pellet form. Learn More
80:20 mixture of butyl and methyl methacrylates provides a plastic with excellent cutting properties. The hardness of the plastic can be varied by altering the relative proportions of the two components. The medium can be cured chemically or by ultraviolet radiation. We particularly recommend this embedding medium where the medium must be removed prior to staining. This acrylic copolymer is easily removed from the cut section by treatment with acetone or xylene.
