Reliable Paraffin for Routine Tissue Infiltration and Embedding
Epredia™ Histoplast Paraffin provides a range of paraffin formulations designed for tissue infiltration and embedding in routine histology applications. Available in multiple formulations, Histoplast paraffins are designed to meet the needs of different tissue types, processing requirements, and sectioning techniques.
Histoplast paraffins undergo controlled manufacturing and quality processes to provide consistent performance from batch to batch. The convenient pellet format allows for easy handling, melting, and dispensing, while resealable packaging provides convenient storage and helps reduce the possibility of countertop spills.
Choose the Histoplast formulation that best matches your laboratory’s tissue processing and sectioning requirements.
