Description

General description

additional information see 45359 Epoxy Embedding Medium kit

Epoxy embedding medium is generally used for biological tissues during study by electron microscopy. Usually, it consists of three components; Epon 812 resin, an anhydride hardener and an accelerator.

Application

It was used during transmission electron microscopy done for the analysis of epithelial cells; during a study performed to understand the epithelial cell growth and stratification in minimal culture conditions.[1]
