General description
Paraplast® is a paraffin–polyisobutylene mixture for tissue embedding and infiltration. It is a refined combination of highly purified paraffin with plastic polymers. It produces minimal tissue compression and wrinkle-free sections and cuts to 4 μm thickness with excellent ribbon continuity.
Application
Paraplast® has been used for tissue embedding and in the following applications:
- to screen major groups of vertebrates for the presence of cardiac smooth muscle and its phylogenetic distribution in terrestrial and aquatic turtles
- to study the relationship between membrane impedance and dendrite length of hippocampal neurons
- to compare the regenerative properties of human stem cells of the apical papilla as an alternative to other dental stem cells
Features and Benefits
- Minimal tissue compression.
- Produces wrinkle-free sections.
- Excellent ribbon continuity.
Other Notes
Double filtered paraffin wax in pellet form.
