A very low viscosity (8cps), non-toxic resin, suitable for both Light and Electron Microscopy. LR White is a polar monomer polyhydroxylated aromatic acrylic resin. It can be cured by heat or by UV light. The uncatalyzed version has to be activated prior to use by adding the included catalyst.
Technovit® 4000 is a fast curing, cold polymerizing, three-component resin, which is based on a modified polyester, and it is available in the form of powder, liquid I, and syrup II. The color is white opaque.
Histocryl acrylic resin has been specially formulated for light microscopy. It is water clear, and because it is hydrophilic (polar) it permits the use of most routine staining techniques without priorremoval or etching.
Offers all of the same features as JB-4™ with the following additions: Less exothermic reaction than JB4, good for temperature sensitive tissues. Harder blocks, which is ideal for dense samples, such as bone.
A water soluble embedding media which is based on Glycol Methacrylate (GMA) plastic embedding. It is intended for use in preparing samples for high resolution light microscopy (HRLM).
HPMA is a water-soluble resin used for cytochemical applications. Infiltration follows fixation of the tissue so there is no extraction of materials caused by dehydration in alcohols.
