RE: [Histonet] harder paraffin

Hello Betsy! I use Leica's EM400 for my paraffin embedding needs and it does extremely well for all of my decalcified bone work. Of course I mostly work with undemineralized bone, biomaterials and medical device implants so I pretty routinely utilize acrylic resins (MMA) for most of my work.

Merk (Darmstad, Germany) used to manufacture paraffin waxes of 63ºC and 65ºC, hard enough to be used in plant microtomy. They are all whitish. Try contacting Merk, or perhaps Adrich. René J. From: Molinari, Betsy bmolin...@texasheart.org To: Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu
