[Histonet] black wax in dissecting pans

[Liz Chlipala]

We thought about that but we are using the wax for pinning "en face"
analysis of mouse aorta's and we thought that candle wax would be to brittle
and we were uncertain if we could get the black candle wax dark enough for
imaging.  We are using special pins that we get through fine since tools
they are 0.1mm in diameter.

Bennie & Smith perhaps : )

No, seriously, get some of the coloring agent from a candle-making
supply/craft store.  I'd bet that would work to color regular paraffin.

Hello All

 

Does anyone know were I can get the black wax that is in used in the metal
dissecting pans.  I know that I can order the pans with the wax, but I was
wondering if anyone out there knows if I can just purchase the wax alone.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Liz
