Tissue Embedding Media
Electron Microscopy Sciences Paramat Extra 10 KG
Paramat is the original British blend of paraffin wax and plastic polymers and it has been used in histology labs throughout the world for over 20 years. It has been found that when plastic polymers are added to the paraffin the elasticity of the final block is greater as compared with paraffin alone. As well the mixture offers improved tissue penetration, easier ribboning of sections, reduced tendency to crumble, and improved overall results with fibrous tissue. Faster penetration with small amount of dimethyl sulfoxide.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Gelatin, Powder, U.S.P., Type A, 300 Bloom, 9000-70-8, 100G
Solubility: 12% in H2O at 20°C, pH (1% in H2O): 3.5-5.0; Gelatin Powder is used as a combination Acrylamide-Gelatin-Jung resin for cryosectioning of large and soft tissues (eggs, fishes, insects). A new embedding medium for cryosectioning eggs of high yolk and lipid content. It is used to prepare gelatin-chrome alum adhesive to coat glass slides for mounting semi-thin sections for staining.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Meltmount™ Slide Mounting Media Quick-Stick™ 1.662
Cargille Meltmount (optical quality) is a series of mounting media which are specifically formulated for use in microscope slide mounting and in other optical coupling applications.
< Use Meltmount for instant thermal mountants that require "no-oven-time" and are thermally reversible for sample retrieval or re-orientation. Meltmounts are PBC free and contains no solvents. Cleanup in toluene. Fluid at 65 degree C. It is a direct replacement for old mountant mediums (Canada Balsam, Aroclor 5442, Naphrax...) It has a refractive index (nD @25 deg C) of 1.662 and an Abbe V dispersion of 26, optically similar to Aroclor 5442 but is PCB-free.
Refractive index: 1.662
Electron Microscopy Sciences Durcupan ACM Epoxy
An aromatic polyepoxide; a colorless resin of relatively low viscosity, with virtually no shrinkage. Kit: 1200ml
Electron Microscopy Sciences Embed 812/DER 736 Kit
This mixture is less viscous than the final embedding mixture of EMbed-812. Kit consists of: 2x225 ml DER 736, 450 ml EMbed-812, 450 ml NMA, 50 ml DMP-30.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Lowicryl K11M Kit
Lowicryl resins are highly cross-linked acrylate-based embedding resins, designed for use over a wide range of embedding conditions. These resins provide low viscosity at low temperatures. All of these resins are photopolymerized by long wavelength (360nm) ultraviolet light. Since the initiation of the polymerization is largely independent of temperatures, blocks may be polymerized at the same temperatures used for infiltration. The resin may also be chemically polymerized at 60 degree C. Usable to -60 deg C.
