[Histonet] Technovit 9100 and partial vacuum

[Jack Ratliff]

JP,
 
I believe that Technovit 9100 is pretty much a typical MMA formulation. If so, then I would add whatever vacuum you can safely add to the specimen. I use an MMA + DBP formulation (not a kit) and draw a vacuum @ -15 to -20 inHg.
 
Let me know if you need anymore help!
