Paraplast X-TRA®
for tissue embedding
Synonym(s):
Tissue Embedding Media, Paraplast X-TRA® embedding media
General description
Paraplast X-TRA® is a unique blend of low molecular weight polymers and highly purified paraffins for exceptional compression resistance and ribbon continuity.
Paraplast® tissue embedding media are made from highly purified wax combined with plastic polymers for tensile strength and elasticity. Paraplast provides rapid infiltration during processing as well as great compression resistance during sectioning for preserved morphology and thin, distortion-free sections.
Our range of Paraplast products improve the elasticity of brittle, difficult-to-cut tissues making it easier to produce excellent, wrinkle-free sections.
