Description
Paraffin + DMSO pellets with a melting point of 56–58 °C are a specialised medium for microbiology laboratory workflows. Supplied as free-flowing beads, this MIC-grade material combines paraffin with dimethyl sulfoxide to support embedding, infiltration and related sample-preparation steps that require a clearly defined thermal window. The 1 kg pack is practical for routine bench use and stock replenishment in clinical, teaching and research settings. Produced by Labbox within the LABKEM range, the pellets melt consistently between 56 and 58 °C, helping laboratories maintain reproducible handling conditions from batch to batch. The bead format simplifies dosing, transfer and melting compared with solid blocks, shortening preparation time at the workstation. Packaged-unit net weight is given as 1,639 kg. Positioned among microbiology reagents, the product suits protocols where controlled solidification behaviour and convenient pellet handling are essential. Laboratories specifying paraffin formulated with DMSO for MIC applications can integrate this grade into standard preparation sequences without altering established melting-point requirements.
This article is part of Histology reagents & consumables, in Microscopy & histology.

What is this article?
Paraffin + DMSO, pellets, melting point 56 - 58 ºC, MIC, 1kg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox for laboratory use. It sits in Histology reagents & consumables, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
Histology reagents are the fixatives, the solvents, the paraffins and the stains that turn a tissue into a readable section. The stain and the tissue, not the bottle size alone, choose the reagent. Many of these liquids are flammable or toxic and travel under dangerous-goods rules.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
