Description
Paraffin 50-52 °C is an extra pure histological embedding medium supplied as a solid wax grade with a defined melting range of 50–52 °C. Identified by CAS number 8002-74-2 and EG nr. 232-315-6, it is intended for routine histology workflows where controlled melting behaviour and clean sectioning are required. Density lies between 0,88 and 0,92 g/cm³, the flash point exceeds 200 °C and the boiling point is above 300 °C, supporting safe handling under standard laboratory conditions. The material is This paraffin grade from manufacturer Carl ROTH offers a practical balance of purity and thermal properties for everyday histological processing. Its extra-pure quality helps minimise background interference during staining and microscopy, while the specified melting interval supports reproducible embedding protocols across multiple sample types.
