About this item
Lowicryl resins are highly cross-linked acrylate-based embedding resins, designed for use over a wide range of embedding conditions. These resins provide low viscosity at low temperatures.
- K4M kit is usable to –35 °C and is a polar (hydrophilic) medium
- HM20 kit can be used down to –70 °C and is nonpolar (hydrophobic)
- K11M has properties similar to K4M but can be at –60 °C
- HM23 has properties similar to HM20 but can be used to at least –80 °C
All of these resins are photopolymerized by long wavelength (360 nm) ultraviolet light. Since the initiation of the polymerization is largely independent of temperatures, blocks may be polymerized at the same temperatures used for infiltration. The resin may also be chemically polymerized at 60 °C.
