Paramat Extra is a finely filtered blend of specially selected high purity paraffin wax with an addition of polymer to give improved embedding, tissue support and reliable sectioning. It contains a small amount (<1%) of DMSO which promotes improved tissue penetration with a more homogeneous matrix, especially useful for larger specimens. Residual moisture in the tissue and traces of intermedium are dispelled. The pastille shape makes for easy handling.

Histosec® pastilles is an embedding medium for histology of samples of human origin. It is a paraffin enriched with polymers, also available without the addition of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). DMSO increases the rate of penetration of paraffin and provides additional preservation of the tissue structures. Its melting range is between 56 - 58 °C and, within this range any specimen can be processed without fear of damage irrespective of the method used.
