You Searched For: Paraffin wax blended with synthetic polymers

Supplier: Merck

Description: Histosec® pastilles (without DMSO) is an embedding medium for histology of samples of human origin. It is a paraffin enriched with polymers, also available with the addition of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). DMSO increases the rate of penetration of paraffin and provides additional preservation of the tissue structures. Its melting range is between 56 - 58 °C and, within this range any specimen can be processed without fear of damage irrespective of the method used.
In most clinical laboratories the paraffinization is performed with an automated embedding system and is performed directly after the histoprocessing.

Description: Regular Paraplast with approx. 0,8% DMSO added for enhanced ease of infiltration and sectioning. Paraffin polyisobutylene mixture is a tissue embedding medium composed of highly purified paraffin and polyisobutylene and a low level of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to enhance the rate of tissue penetration. Paraffin-polyisobutylene (76258) supports thin wrinkle-free sectioning down to 4 µm with more flexible and continuous ribbons.

Description: Paramat Extra is a finely filtered blend of specially selected high purity paraffin wax with an addition of polymer to give improved embedding, tissue support and reliable sectioning. It contains a small amount (<1%) of DMSO which promotes improved tissue penetration with a more homogeneous matrix, especially useful for larger specimens. Residual moisture in the tissue and traces of intermedium are dispelled. The pastille shape makes for easy handling.
