DMSO increases the rate of penetration of paraffin and provides additional preservation of the tissue structures
These Histosec® pastilles are well soluble with the Intermedia Xylene or xylene substitutes such as Neo-Clear(R) and can be used for clinical diagnostic purposes.
Its melting range is between 56 to 58 °C and, within this range any specimen can be processed without fear of damage irrespective of the method used.
