Description
Paraffin has been used in biological sciences since the late 1800’s and has been the foundation for histological technique for many years. With the introduction of Teflon® coated blades, the cutting characteristics of most paraffins has improved significantly. However, with the increased demand for immuno-staining, and other specialty histological procedures, cutting characteristics by themselves are no longer of primary importance. Melting point, infiltrating ability, shrinkage, expansion, compression and elasticity are but some of the criteria that current paraffins must meet. In recent years some significant improvements have been made in the quality and cutting characteristics of paraffins, and according to a study conducted by one of the country’s leading histologists, has emerged as the outstanding paraffin for infiltrating, embedding, and cutting processed tissue.
