Leica Biosystems Tissue Embedding Medium Surgipath Paraplast Extra Paraffin White Solid (8/CS)

Yes, the Surgipath Paraplast Extra is specifically engineered for this purpose. Its formulation, which includes low molecular weight polymers and highly purified paraffins, provides low viscosity to ensure complete and deep penetration of even the most dense tissue specimens.

Absolutely. This medium is designed with a low melting temperature profile, which creates a gentler environment during the embedding process. This significantly reduces the risk of thermal distortion and helps maintain the integrity of delicate tissue samples.

Yes, it is designed for excellent ribbon continuity. The unique blend of polymers and paraffins offers high compression resistance, which facilitates smooth, accurate sectioning during the microtomy process.

Yes, it is a professional-grade consumable designed for standard histology and pathology laboratory environments. It is fully compatible with standard tissue embedding centers and paraffin infiltration systems.

The blend of low molecular weight polymers serves two critical functions:

• Enhanced Infiltration: It allows for better penetration into tissues.
• Structural Integrity: It creates a more robust block that stands up to the rigors of precise sectioning.

The medium comes in a solid 1 kg bag format, making it easy to manage and refill in your lab’s embedding systems. Its refined composition is tailored for consistent histological processing every time.

Yes. By providing superior structural support and minimizing tissue damage during embedding, it produces high-quality blocks that are essential for precise tissue analysis and diagnosis.

Yes, it features highly purified paraffins as a primary component, which is critical for achieving a consistent embedding medium that avoids contamination and ensures clear, reliable results.

The low melting point is an advantage for tissue preservation. It ensures that the heat applied to the tissue is minimized, preventing the structural changes that can occur at higher temperatures, ultimately resulting in better-preserved samples.

Yes, this product is manufactured by Leica Biosystems, a leader in pathology equipment and consumables. It is designed specifically to meet the high standards required for professional clinical laboratory workflows.
