Tissue Embedding Media

Paraplast^® Plus

Tissue embedding medium for faster penetration in one-third the time. Cut to 2um thickness with excellent ribbon continuity; melts rapidly at 56-67°C. Double filtered paraffin containing plastic polymers of regulated molecular weights and a small percent (0.8%) of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) for faster tissue penetration. Tissue sections can be cut to 1um in short ribbons. MSDS

Paraplast® X-TRA Tissue Embedding Medium

Optimum media composed of clear pellets of low-molecular weight polymers and highly purified paraffins. ASTM melting point, 50° to 54°C. Cut to 2um thickness with exceptional compression resistance and ribbon continuity. Cut sections are free of distortion; sample morphology is preserved. Low viscosity permits complete infiltration of dense tissue. Sections adhere perfectly to slides without leaving stainable residue.
1kg/bag, case of 8 bags

PolyFin™ Paraffin

A mixture of fine paraffin waxes and copolymer alloys in convenient pellets. Produces ultra-thin compression-free ribbons. It is used to cut 2um sections routinely without icing. Functions flawlessly in pressure/vacuum fluid flow processors. Provides maximum support for both hard and soft tissue samples while maintaining exceptional clarity. Low melting point eliminates excessive heat distortion during tissue processing. Melting point 55°C.

Cryo-Gel™

embedding medium for frozen sections

Cryo-Gel™ is a very viscous embedding medium for frozen sections, that stays where you want it to be. The gel is packaged in a pump dispenser bottle that can instantly dispense the gel in any position, even when the bottle is almost empty. The dispenser has a built-in “guillotine” that cleanly severs the gel from the pump spout and prevents any stringy medium from pulling away when the bottle is removed. Bottle of 4.3 oz.
