Methyl Methacrylate/Butyl Methacrylate
The mixture of Butyl and Methyl Methacrylate offers many advantages over the standard GMA and HPMA embedding mediums:
- It can be UV cured in the cold with the addition of benzoin methyl ether, or heat cured by the addition of benzoyl peroxide.
- The resin can be removed from the sections with a solvent (acetone) before staining.
