Application

LR White Resin is a very low viscosity resin, non-toxic and suitable for various applications in both light and Electron Microscopy. Major advantage of LR White sections is that they show minimal non-specific staining. Sections of polymerized resin are hydrophilic, thus immunocytochemistry reagents easily penetrate into the section. Its low viscosity makes LR White an ideal tool for infiltrating plant tissues as well as decalcified bone and teeth.
Benzoyl peroxide (B5907) is specifically formulated as an initiator for these resins.

The purpose of this study was to examine the intensity of the immunogold labeling of kappa light chains as single molecules and as parts of whole immunoglobulin molecules in LR-White sections and epoxy sections both practically and theoretically. Human renal

Methylmethacrylate (MMA) embedding of undecalcified bone is routinely employed for histomorphometric analyses. Although MMA-embedded bone has been used for immunolabeling at the light microscopic level after removal of the resin, there are no such reports for electron microscopy. The aim

We have developed a procedure for visualizing GFP expression in fixed tissue after embedding in LR White. We find that GFP fluorescence survives fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde/0.1% glutaraldehyde and can be visualized directly by fluorescence microscopy in unstained, 1 microm

Understanding which hydraulic traits are under genetic control and/or are phenotypically plastic is essential in understanding how tree species will respond to rapid shifts in climate. We quantified hydraulic traits in Eucalyptus obliqua L'Her. across a precipitation gradient in the

An improved new method for the simultaneous visualization of mRNA and encoded protein in LR White resin-embedded specimens is described. This pre-embedding electron microscopical in situ hybridization (procedure) localized rat growth hormone mRNA specifically as high electron-density products on the
