PolyGuard, Paraffin Repellent EH5g ...........................................
Xylene free paraffin repellent. Used to put a protective coating on surfaces exposed
to paraffin as well as to clean adhering paraffin off laboratory countertops and
equipment. Available in 120ml bottles and 6x120ml cases.
SHUR/Trim Paraffin Block Dewaxer .............................................
Paraffin block trimming has never been easier or safer - eliminate cut hands
and fingers. The SHUR/Trim Paraffin Block Dewaxer is an efficient laboratory
tool for removing excess paraffin from embedding tissue cassettes. Simply slide
paraffin blocks across the heated grooved surface. Melted paraffin is shaved
away to disposable receptacle below. Preparing embedded tissue blocks for
insertion into microtome quick release clamps has never been easier or safer.
Dimensions: 6” W x 9” D x 7” H (15 x 23 x 18cm) Weight: 5 lbs. (3kg) 115 VAC,
50/60 Hz, 4 Amps.
Soft Block A3g .............................................................
Unique Formula for Softening Difficult to Cut Tissue in Paraffin
Effective on bone, nails and tissue. Easy to use, just soak pre-trimmed block surface in Soft Block for
5-15 minutes (depending on tissue sample size) and cut sections. Soft Block is environmentally safe,
special waste disposal is not required and will not damage equipment. Technical Data Sheet #718
Soft Nail AH4g .............................................................
Unique Formulation to Soften Keratin
Made for very hard complex keratinized hair, nail and skin samples common
in Mohs Histology laboratories. Hair, nail and skin samples that have been
processed tend to flex and turn becoming difficult to cut and hold on slides
for staining. Processing hardens these samples and presents the challenge of
cutting complete sections or sections without a “Venetian Blind Effect”.
Benefits:
• Easy to use – no mixing required
• Keratinized samples cut & stain with greater ease
• Prevents shredding and tearing of samples
• Alleviates samples from folding on slides
• Breaks down the fibrous structural protein of hair, nail, hoof, feathers and skin
• Useful in Mohs Laboratories, Veterinary Histology and Podiatry Nail Histology
Peel-A-Way ® Micro-Cut Preferred (DMF) Paraffin ...............................
Micro-Cut Preferred paraffin, at 56° to 58°C melt point is a new formulation with
DMF (dimethylformamide) added to increase infiltration of tissue. This low polymer
content formulation gives improved viscosity, infiltration, and embedding.
The translucent appearance of the paraffin allows for 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. Technical Data Sheet #525A
