Embedding Mold Release Spray G5g ..........................................
Embedding Mold Release Spray is a particularly effective anti-stick agent that dries on contact and leaves
no oily film. It is unaffected by water, oil, or solvents and is thermally stable to 500°F. 10oz. spray can.
GemCut ® Paraffins A2g
A high polymer paraffin formulation for routine embedding and cutting,
with a melting range from 56-58° C. Specially formulated to exhibit superior
cutting performance in high humidity environments, with low compression.
Available in multiple colors to assist the histologic technician in visualizing
small biopsies easily, even while using eosin, methylene blue or tissue marking
dyes. Use colors to organize samples by technician or tissue type. Coloring
agents and polymer content do not interfere with staining protocols or IHC.

Gold Standard Series Peel-A-Way ® Micro-Cut Paraffin A2g
Low polymer formulation in our Peel-A-Way ® paraffin line. Gives improved viscosity, infiltration and
embedding. The translucent appearance of the paraffin allows excellent tissue visibility and easier
paraffin removal with all types of clearing agents. Available in a larger, more convenient 10kg (22lb)
case size containing four 2.5kg stand alone bags. One case will fill most tissue processors. Available
in 3 melting temperatures, for a variety of tissue types. Technical Data Sheet #525A

Histoheme A2g ............................................................
Developed to assist histologists with bloody specimens such as placental fragments,
bone marrow biopsies, liver, spleen and endometrial curettings which
tend to harden after processing and dry out. These tissues, when set on ice tend
to shatter and flake leaving blood fragments all over the work area, microtome,
waterbath and have a high potential for creating extraneous tissue “floaters”
on slides. Technicians can cut clean, non-fragmented sections without stopping
in-between each block with Histoheme.
Benefits:
• Ammonia based emollient
• Alleviates problems and mess associated with working with bloody specimens
• Creates long clean paraffin ribbons without stopping to clean between each block
• Greater morphological staining

PolyFin ® Paraffin A2g .......................................................
This is a mixture of fine paraffin waxes and copolymer alloys in convenient
pellets. PolyFin ® produces ultra-thin compression free ribbons. It is used to cut
2 micron sections routinely without icing. It functions flawlessly in pressure/vacuum
fluid flow processors. PolyFin ® provides maximum support for both hard
and soft tissue samples while maintaining exceptional clarity. The low 55°C
melting point eliminates excessive heat distortion during tissue processing.
