Compatible with most staining techniques and solvents. Comes in pellet form, and has a melting point of 56°C. Embedding media of plastic and paraffin polymers. Gives clear tissue specimens and clean cuts. Wrinkles are minimized for smoother sections. Packed eight 1 kg bags per case.
Paraplast X-Tra® is a unique blend of low molecular weight polymers and paraffins for superior sections. Lower temperature infiltration eliminates distortion caused by tissue “cooking”. Lower viscosity allows complete tissue infiltration. Exceptional ribbon continuity. Flat sections are free of compression distortions. ASTM melting point 50-54°C. Handy pellet form. Packed 1 kg/bag, 8 bags/case.
