Re: [Histonet] Paraffin types

From:"Gayle Callis"



Same paraffin for infiltration and embedding.  Our choice is especially good 
for bone because it is a harder paraffin and works well for soft tissues 
even very thin sections i.g. 1 to 2 um.  Since we do a great deal of bone 
work, this has been a good choice.    Tissue Prep 2 from ThermoFisher 
Scientific.

We have used the Surgipath combination infiltration media followed by their 
embedding media with great success.
