Description
Paraplast® is a paraffin embedding medium supplied as pellets for histology. With a density of 0,8 g/cm³, the material is suited to routine tissue processing and paraffin embedding steps in the histopathology laboratory. The product is Paraplast® paraffin pellets support infiltration and block formation when preparing specimens for sectioning. This histology-grade paraffin from manufacturer Leica provides a defined pellet form that is convenient to handle and melt in standard embedding equipment. Laboratories performing tissue embedding can integrate the medium into established paraffin protocols without altering core process design. Clear identification as Paraplast® for histology, together with the stated density and pellet presentation, helps purchasing and bench teams specify the correct embedding wax for daily microtomy preparation.

Questions about Paraplast®, for histology, 1 kg, paper bag
What is this article?
Paraplast®, for histology, 1 kg, paper bag is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Leica for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
