Zinc formalin fixative is a non-precipitating fixative. This fixative is compatible with histochemical, immunochemical and special stains. It may be used with automated tissue processors and also in manual methods. The zinc chloride component of the formulation increases the rigidity of cellular components to withstand subsequent processing, sectioning and staining procedures. Tissue specimens initially fixed using 10% neutral buffered formalin solution may be post-fixed using the zinc formalin fixative.

Entellan® new is a new mounting medium for cover slippers and is specially suited for commercial automated mounting instruments that operate with cover slippers. Its viscosity ranges between 250 and 600 mPas, 1,00869 has a small viscosity range. This narrow viscosity range improves and accelerates the application, as neither the dropping rate nor the volume need to be reset after the first run with a new bottle of Entellan® new.

The Epoxy Embedding Medium Kit is a very widely used embedding medium for electron microscopy. The embedding formulation originally published by Luft (1961) is excellent for both plant and animal tissues. Due to the low viscosity of the resin, it penetrates the tissue specimen faster than Araldite and other polymers. It hardens easily and uniformly at low temperatures with the addition of dodecenylsuccinic anhydride (DDSA), methyl nadic anhydride (MNA), and the accelerator 2,4,6-tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol (DMP-30). Slight shrinkage may occur during curing. This kit is useful for embedding a variety of tissues as a wide range of hardness can be obtained with this resin to suit a specific tissue type by using two different anhydride curing agents (DDSA and MNA).

The defined hardness and uniformity of the material to be cut are vital requirements in creating consistent quality in cutting. These requirements can be met using a range of suitable substances, such as paraffins, resins, gelatine and celloidin.

Polink-2 Plus HRP anti rabbit detection kit is the 3rd generation of polymer detection system. It uses rabbit antibody specific enhancer to help amplify the polymer enzyme conjugate reaction to achieve super sensitivity and specificity in immunohistochemistry staining. It produces consistent immunostaining outcomes on archival tissues and on difficult-to-work antibodies. User may need to further dilute primary antibody due to super sensitivity of Polink-2 Plus detection system. It is a biotin free system, therefore, overcomes the non-specific staining caused by streptavidin/biotin system due to endogenous biotin. Most commonly used specimens for this system are: frozen tissue, paraffin-embedded tissue, freshly prepared lymphocytes and fixed culture cells. Suitable for manual or autostain. Staining conditions need to be optimised by user.

These transparent PMMA or borosilicate 3.3 glass cabinets have a reinforced aluminium frame, door with foam rubber gasket and magnetic strip. Designed for storing or drying humidity-sensitive products using silica gel. The controlled environment inside the desiccator is ideal for storing reference materials, retained samples, metallographic specimens, tobacco and DNA samples. Super-Star cabinets can be filled with inert gas, e.g. nitrogen to allow safe and secure storage of poisonous chemicals.

When sectioning frozen tissue for rapid surgical biopsy diagnosis or for research (typically in Histochemistry), the tissue sample must be firmly attached to the microtome stage or chuck. Embedding material such as OCT are preferred as these also provide a supportive and protective aid to sectioning.
