[Histonet] paraffin for pathology lab.

[Pamela Marcum]

A number of companies selling histology/pathology paraffins are listed on line or in catalogs.  It will depend on what you are actually wanting as these have been developed for routine use and the questions you have asked are taken care by the companies.  I would be happy to give you a list of paraffins I have used or know others have used successfully for years.  Pam Marcum (UAMS)

It sounds like you are looking for paraffin for infiltration (not embedding).  If this is so, use a paraffin with shorter polymers like Richard-Allan Paraffin Type 1 - The same company makes Types 3, 6, and 9 but these longer polymer paraffins are designed for sectioning and ribbon formation.

Hi all 
  
I have a question. If you spent time and answer this I will be appreciated. 
  
To use in our pathology laboratory we need to get beaded paraffin. I need to order it from companies. 
  
According to my research I understand that the oil content, penetration depth ... important for this product and I dont know what should % of this oil content be? 
  
It will effect penetration dept? We need to get 56-58 C melting point parffin . 
  
Please inform 
  
thanks alot
