Paraplast® for tissue, for embedding

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.

• 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

Minimal tissue compression. Produces wrinkle-free sections. Excellent ribbon continuity. Double filtered paraffin wax in pellet form.
