Description
Paraffin 52-54 °C is an extra pure wax grade formulated for histological embedding, with a melting range of 52–54 °C. It carries CAS number 8002-74-2 and EG nr. 232-315-6 and is characterised by a density of 0,88 to 0,92 g/cm³, a flash point above 200 °C and a boiling point exceeding 300 °C. These physical properties support reliable tissue infiltration and block formation in pathology and research settings. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this extra-pure paraffin helps laboratories maintain consistent embedding quality and clean microtome sectioning. Its defined thermal profile and purity level make it a practical choice for standard tissue-processing protocols, staining workflows and subsequent microscopic evaluation without introducing unnecessary variables into the preparation chain.
