Electron Microscopy Sciences Micro-Bed Embedding Resin

Electron Microscopy Sciences Micro-bed resin is a water-soluble resin, a mixture of acrylate and polyester resins. Universal embedding medium that may be used for light or electron microscopy. Due to its non-crosslinking characteristics, its hydrophilic nature, and roughness of its section surface, it is excellent in preserving tissue structure, offers good results in immunolabeling, and stands up well to conventional stains. In lm, tissues were stained with conventional histological stains (e.g.,hematoxylin-eosin) and embedded in micro-bed: results comparable with those provided on paraffin embedded tissues. Polychrome silver-based and cytochemical stains (e.g.,pas) were also feasible. In tem, images as good as those obtained with similar acrylic resins, (e.g., lowicryl k4m), were obtained. Supplied as a single component-ready to use pre-mixed resin. Micro-bed can be polymerized by heat (55-65°c) or UV (365nm) at -10 to 20°c for 72 hours. - EMS (Additional S&H or Hazmat Fees May Apply)
