*Please note that wherever DMP-30 is listed as the accelerator in our embedding media kits you have the option to use BDMA in place of it. BDMA is less viscous, has a longer shelf life, and offers better penetration (it should be noted, however, that in order to achieve the optimum results when using BDMA in place of DMP-30 you must vary the amount. DMP-30: 1.5-2%; BDMA: 2.5-3%).
Histocryl acrylic resin specially formulated for light microscopy. Water clear. It is hydrophilic (polar). Permits use of routine staining techniques without prior removal or etching.
Highly cross-linked acrylate-based embedding resins for a range of embedding conditions. These resins provide low viscosity at low temps. Photopolymerized by long wavelength (360nm) ultraviolet light.
MonoStep Single Component Embedding Media. Pre-mixed, ready to use resin, saves you time and minimizes chemical contact. MonoStep Lowicryl is ideal for use in immunohistochemistry and immunolabeling. Store at room temperature
Provides excellent penetration for embedding biological tissues and rapid infiltration. Easy to prepare. Hardness is adjusted by changing proportion of DER 736. Consists of: 450ml NSA, 225ml ERL 4221, 225ml DER 736, 25ml DMAE
One-step-preparation of low viscosity embedding uses equal amount of A and B. Readily infiltrates into specimen and polymerizes to a clear, hard block overnight at 60 degrees C. Shipped as non-hazardous. Kit comes with 100 ml each.
Mixture of Butyl and Methyl Methacrylate. Can be UV cured in cold or heat cured and removed from sections with solvent (acetone) before staining. 225 ml Methyl Methacrylate, 225 ml Butyl Methacrylate, 15 gm Benzoyl Peroxide Paste
Supplied as a single component-ready to use pre-mixed resin. Micro-Bed can be polymerized in either EMS embedding capsules or gelatin capsules by heat (55-65°C) or UV (365nm) light at low temperatures (-10 to 20°C) for 72 hours.
Asynthetic polyester wax with a very low melting point (37°C) is used as a ribboning embedding medium. Low mp reduces tissue hardening, shrinkage, and eliminates the need for infiltration ovens. 2 microns can be cut at 10 to 22°C
NSA A water miscible epoxy resin used for light and electron microscopy. Its low viscosity permits easy infiltration and embedding, and yields light-colored blocks. Kit: 225ml Quetol 651, 450ml NMA, 450ml NSA, 50ml DMP-30.
Very low viscosity monomeric styrene penetrates rapidly into tissues. Soluble in ethanol and acetone. Infiltration and embedding can be done by styrene alone. Polymerize by UV or heat within 2-3 days without benzoyl peroxide.
EUKITT 4400 LB is a single-component resin that polymerizes under UV light. It is used for embedding and preparing of thin ground sections. Thin ground sections for medical and technical applications can be produced.
Glycol Methacrylate embedding kits convenient to use, offers best embedding results. Improved morphology. Polymerization temperature never exceeds 40°C. Initiator is prepackaged.
Fast curing methyl methacrylate-based resin forms a firm, durable bond between Technovit and the specimen. Consists of powder and liquid that are easily mixed.
Low Shrinkage, fast curing, cold polymerizing, three-component resin based on modified polyester in powder, syrup I, and syrup II form. Optimum grinding, and polishing. Consists of:
The unique EMS Technovit Polymerization Device (TPD) is a blue light curing device for all Technovit resins. The unit has built-in reflectors for homogenous curing of the blocks. The TPD fits up to 9 embedding molds and is generously sized.
Embedding mold composed of new material with a special shape for easy-to-cut specimens. PTFE for easy removal of 10 plastic blocks when using the Histobloc system.
Thermosetting acrylic-polymer plastic with excellent clarity. Place object in a mold, mix and pour. Hard in an hour and object is firmly embedded in clear, stable plastic. Can be polished with soft cloth to high gloss.
Extremely high tear, high tensile strength, two components, and tin catalyzed RTV silicone rubber. It is designed for casting polyurethane foam, polyester and epoxy parts. Kit contains 1 gal (9 lb) silicone base and 1 pt (1lb) blue catalyst.
