Paraffin with ceresin - Names and Identifiers
Paraffin with ceresin - Introduction
Sliced paraffin is a material used to prepare regular sections and is commonly used in the fields of biology and medicine. The following is information on the nature, use, preparation and safety of paraffin sections:
Nature:
-Sliced paraffin is an organic polymer compound with a solid waxy state.
-It has a transparent appearance, and the cell tissue structure under the slice can be observed through a microscope.
-The melting point of sliced paraffin is generally 55-60 degrees Celsius, so that it can be heated to melt and solidify.
Use:
-Sections Paraffin is widely used to prepare tissue sections for observing the structure and function of cells and tissues under a microscope.
-It can be used in the field of pathology as a staining matrix for cells and tissues in diagnostic methods.
-Sectioned paraffin can also be used for some laboratory techniques, such as immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization.
Preparation Method:
-The preparation method of sliced paraffin is basically to heat the paraffin to a liquid state, and then immerse the sample to be sliced in the paraffin to fully soak it, it was then cooled to solidify and give slices.
Safety Information:
-Sliced paraffin is a relatively safe material, but the following matters still need to be paid attention:
-in the use of paraffin slices, avoid direct contact with the skin, to prevent overheating caused by the melting of paraffin burns.
-When using sliced paraffin, you should take ventilation measures to avoid inhaling its vapor and dust, because this may be harmful to the respiratory system.
-Personal protective equipment such as protective gloves, masks and goggles should be worn when necessary.
-The sliced paraffin should be stored in a closed container, away from open flames and high temperature environments to prevent it from melting and causing a fire.
