Paraplast

Don't forget to... Check out our disposable base molds.

 
All Paraplast brand tissue embedding media are made of a combination of highly purified wax and several plastic polymers of greater tensile strength and elasticity. This results in greater compressiiblity ( without crumbling) during sectioning, rapid inflitration and thinner sections which flatten in a thermostatically controlled water bath.

Recommended for General Tissue Embedding Use: A refined mixture of highly purified paraffin containing plastic polymers of regulated molecular weights that provides better tissue infiltration and superior quality sections. Greatly minimizes tissue compressions due to sectioning. Gives brittle, difficult to cut tissues (such as fibroid tumors, blood-engorged tissues, thrombi, decalcified bone and cartilatge) an innate elasticity which produces excellent, wrinkle-free sections. Clearing is complete and without stainable residue.

Recommended for Large Tissue or Tissue Which Normally presents Infiltration Problems: A controlled mixture of highly purified paraffin containing plastic polymers of regulated molecular weights and a small percentage of dimethy sulphoxide for faster tissue penetration. Like Paraplast, it greatly minimizes tissue compression due to sectioning and gives brittle, difficult to cut tissues in an innate elasticity which produces excellent, wrinkle-free sections. Clearing is complete and without stainable residue.

Recommended for Lower Temperature Infiltration Preventing Tissue Distortion: A unique blend of low molecular weight of polymers and highly purified paraffins for exceptional compressionresistance and ribbon continuity. Low viscosity permits complete inflitration of dense tissue. Cut section are free of distortion and morphology is preserved. Clearing complete and without stainable residue.
