Paraplast® Tissue Embedding Medium

For infiltration and embedding. A refined mixture of highly purified paraffin containing plastic polymers. Greatly minimizes tissue compression due to sectioning. Gives brittle, difficult to cut tissues (such as fibroid tumors, blood-engorged tissues, decalcified bone and cartilage) an innate elasticity which produces excellent, wrinkle-free sections. Cuts to 4 microns. Melting point 56-57c (ASTM)
