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 Meltmount™ Slide Mounting Media 1.582 1 OZ
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 1.582 and an Abbe V dispersion of 33. Its optical clarity makes it the preferred choice for minimum visible absorption.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Citifluor™ Mountant Solution AF1, Glycerol Based, Non Hardening 25 ML
Citifluor mounting medium for immunofluorescence is designed to reduce the fading of the fluorescence of dyes used for labeling biological specimens. In the technique of fluorescence microscopy, the fluorescence is stimulated by high intensity UV and/or visible light. Absorption of the light populates an excited state of the dye (usually a singlet state) and this leads to fluorescence. However, the excited state of the dye may undergo chemical reaction, which leads to destruction as evidenced by the fading of the fluorescence and consequent loss of the image. A glycerol-PBS solution contains an amine antifadent.
Material: Glycerol Based
Type: Non Hardening
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gelatin Powder Type A 175 Bloom, 3.5-5.0 (1% in H2O) pH 100 GR
F.W. 60000
Type A is from Porcine skin (acid cured tissue). Type B is from Bovine skin (base cured tissue). The strength of the gel is based on the bloom number. The higher the bloom number the stronger the gel. Used as a combination Acrylamide-Gelatin-Jung resin for cryosectioning of large and soft tissues (eggs, fishes, insects) Hartmann, R. (1984). A new embedding medium for cryosectioning eggs of high yolk and lipid content. Eur. J. Cell Biol., 34:206 Used to From Porcine skin (acid cured tissue).

Electron Microscopy Sciences Cryo Gel, 4.3oz/Dispenser 4.3 OZ
Crogenic gel is a highly viscous, water-soluble embedding medium for frozen sections that "stays put". The gel is packaged in a pump-dispenser bottle that can instantly dispense the gel in any position. The dispenser has a built-in "guillotine" that cleanly severs the gel from the pump spouts and prevents any "stringy" medium from pulling away when the bottle is removed.
To use, simply dispense gel on a room temperature block-holder. Use a cold heat extractor to form a base layer. Dispense additional gel. Place the tissue on top of the gel. Use a cold heat extractor to freeze tissue and form a block.
