Tissue Embedding Media
Leica Biosystems BLUE RIBBON PARAFFIN 10X2LB/CS
Blue Ribbon is a universal paraffin containing synthetic polymers that can be used both as an infiltration and embedding medium. The paraffin enables the impregnation of tissue to occur rapidly and completely. The wax however will remain stable even at elevated temperatures. It is available in a case of 10 x 2 lb (0.91 kg) lightweight bags to facilitate handling. The bluish tint promotes better visibility of smaller or milky-colored/opaque specimens popular with Dermatology and Urology Labs.
Leica Biosystems FORMULA R EMB/INF MEDIUM 4-4.5
Formula 'R' is a next generation paraffin that enables thin sectioning with minimal compression and all around ease of use. Formula 'R' is a semitransparent compound which can be used both as an infiltration and embedding medium. It has a low melting point (56-57º C, water bath temperature 45-50º C) and is available in 2 packaging options, a 2 lb. poly bag or 4.5 lb. jug. The perforated poly bag is easy to pour and takes up minimal space. The resealable wide mouth plastic jug facilitates pouring as well as disposing of the used paraffin.
Electron Microscopy Sciences BEEM Flat Embedding Mold
Molded from polyethylene. The critical surfaces of the mold are transparent, facilitating accurate specimen orientation through bottom illumination. Molds are reusable and each mold is supplied with a protective box.
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Tissue Capture Pen, Wide Point
With one swift application of the EMS Tissue Capture Pen, you are able to change your plain glass slide into a coated one. The EMS Tissue Capture Pen is a coating pen with a wide point (18 mm) for fixing various tissue sections (paraffin embedded, frozen and formalin sections, etc). The unique pen is unaffected by heat up to 120 degree C so it offers secure and firm adhesion of the tissue section.
One application is all that is needed, and after it is applied, allow to dry for 1-2 minutes.
The EMS Tissue Capture may be used in conjunction with our Pap-Pen and will allow for easy placement of adherent as well as nonadherent cells on a glass slide. Immunostaining/ISH can be performed by applying a few drops of tissue suspension or liquid media onto the glass slide which is circled by the Pap-Pen, and then your section can be placed. Can be used in microwave staining, immunostaining, in situ, etc.
Electron Microscopy Sciences TFM™ Tissue Freezing Medium, Yellow 4 OZ
An embedding matrix for frozen sections. TFM is an ultra pure formulation of water-soluble glycols and resins that provides a solid bond between the tissue and the object holder with the following features: less ice artifacts, less curling, and faster freezing.
Color: Yellow

Electron Microscopy Sciences JB-4 Plus™ Catalyst 8 GR
JB-4 Plus offers all of the same features as JB-4 except it produces less of an exothermic reaction than JB4 which is good for temperature sensitive tissues. J
Electron Microscopy Sciences UltraBed Low Viscosity Kit 2x100 mL
The kit consists of two components, equal amount, very low viscosity, (~65cps), in convenient dispenser top bottles. To prepare the Embedding Resin, just mix equal amounts of the two components. The resin readily infiltrates into specimen and polymerizes to a clear, hard block overnight at 60°C. Kit comes with 100 mL each component A and component B.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Paramat 1 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.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Paraplast X-Tra 8 KG
Melting point: 53-54°C
Handy pellet form melts rapidly. Melting Point 53-54 degree C. Cuts to 2 micron thickness with exceptional ribbon continuity. Extra compression resistance provides total support of tissues
Electron Microscopy Sciences Parlodion (Pyroxylin Purified Strips) 10 GR
CAS #9004-70-0 C₁₂H₁₆N₄O₁₈ F.W. 504.28
Highly purified from cellulose nitrate; specially prepared for embedding tissue for sectioning and for preparing semi-permeable membranes. In strips.
