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.

Supplier: VWR Chemicals

Mounting media based on isopropyl alcohol. Compatible with most solvent replacing agents. Suitable for manual and automatic mounting of slides. PET bottle of 500 ml.

Supplier: SIGMA ALDRICH MICROSCOPY

This is a mounting medium (contains 45% acrylic resin and 55% xylenes) used in microscopy. It is an adhesive and specimen preservative that can be used manually and in automated coverslipping equipment. Special purpose adhesive and sealant for use with glass, non plastic and other non-reactive materials.

Araldite® is an epoxy resin commonly used for embedding. It is basically free from polymerization damage and the plastic does not sublime in the microscope, hence providing continual support and preservation of fine detail.[1] It is composed of araldite M or CY 212, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, dibutyl phthalate and 2,4,6-tridimethylamine methyl phenol.

Supplier: Abcam

Aqueous mounting medium for IHC is designed for use with chromogenic tissue and cell staining. - Works with both aqueous and non-aqueous chromogens (e.g., Fast-Red, AEC, DAB). - Forms a dry, even surface for direct visualization without glass coverslip

Immersion Oil BioChemica

Supplier: Abcam

Eosin Y Solution (Aqueous) ab246825 is intended for use in the histological demonstration of cytoplasm and is commonly used as a counterstain for Hematoxylin.

Supplier: VWR 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.

Oil Red O stains lipid materials and imparts red-orange color to the lipids. It also marks vacuoles, particularly observed in ALL-L3 (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) or Burkitt′s lymphoma/leukemia. Oil Red O staining is done on fresh samples, as alcohol fixation removes lipids.

Supplier: SIGMA ALDRICH MICROSCOPY

JB-4 is a water-soluble, GMA based, plastic resin kit intended for use in the preparation of embedded samples for high resolution light microscopy. It is a technique now widely used for research and clinical diagnosis. JB-4 yields semi-thin sections (0.5μ-2μ) with excellent morphological preservation.

Spurr resin is a hydrophobic resin. It is less viscous than epon mixtures and is easier to dispense. The low viscosity of the resin contributes to its penetration in tissue, mineral and dense structures. A low viscosity of 60 cps also allows easy penetration into a variety of difficult materials.

DPX, Mounting Medium Fast (Toluene Base) for Clinical Diagnosis

Supplier: Merck

DPX new is a synthetic non aqueous mounting medium for microscopy. In its formulation, the teratogenic plasticiizer dibutyl phthalate (DBP) has been avoided, which renders the composition safer for the environment and more user friendly than the conventionally used mounting agents such as DPX.
