Read on to find out everything you need to know about Tissue Embedding wax.
What is Tissue Embedding wax?
Firstly, what exactly is Tissue Embedding wax? Well, this wax is one of the most specialised that we sell. It all begins with paraffin wax – and this is something that we source really carefully to ensure that our Tissue Embedding wax is of the highest quality. The wax that we use has been specially selected for its purity, narrow carbon distribution and crystalline structure – all of which are essential to the histology process. It is then subjected to a triple filtering process before it can be introduced to any of our histology wax formulations. The result? Wax that you can be totally confident in, time after time. We have developed a solid reputation for Tissue Embedding wax across a large customer base, and that is down to the care and attention to detail that we put into each batch.
What is it used for?
We’re a leading Tissue Embedding wax manufacturer, and we are here to answer any questions that our customers may have about the product. Answering the question ‘what is it used for?’ is actually pretty simple when it comes to histology wax. This wax is an important tool in the field of pathology. Pathologists can use it to make their diagnoses, and then go on to decide on what kind of treatment would be most suitable for their patients. Tissue (for example, a sample taken from a patient during a biopsy) is embedded in the wax, which is then cut into sections. These sections can then be examined under a microscope, allowing the pathologist to make an accurate decision regarding diagnosis and treatment.
What are the benefits of Tissue Embedding wax?
Those looking to buy Tissue Embedding wax will want to know what benefits it can offer. This kind of wax is such a valuable tool in the medical field, and we have worked hard to ensure that ours performs as it needs to. When you shop with Poth Hille, you can be sure that your histology wax will have a really low resistance to cutting, making it so easy to section off the samples that you need. You can count on its integrity too, as it will not tear, crack or deform. We have continued to refine and redevelop our wax so that it has improved elasticity, making it much more suitable for sectioning.

What is Tissue Embedding wax?
Tissue Wax embedding is a technique where tissue samples are infiltrated with paraffin so that they can be easily stored and examined. When needed, the sample can be sliced into thin sections that are easily studied under a microscope. If they are not required for use just yet, they can be left in wax blocks to preserve them. We stock the wax that is used in the process. Manufactured using high quality ingredients and made in adherence to a strict formula, our histology wax is a favourite with customers all over the UK.
