Lowicryl® HM20 Non-polar, Hydrophobic, -70ºC Embedding Kit
£643.15 Price ex. VAT
Lowicryls are low viscosity, highly crosslinked acrylate and methacrylate based embedding media that are designed for use at low-temperature for improved preservation of molecular structure and antigens. They are useful alternative to epoxy resins in immunochemistry.
Description
Lowicryls are low viscosity, highly crosslinked acrylate and methacrylate based embedding media that are designed for use at low-temperature for improved preservation of molecular structure and antigens. They are useful alternative to epoxy resins in immunochemistry.
Lowicryl® HM kits are non-polar and are used to produce high contrast images of completely unstained thin sections by Z-contrast. The HM kits are particularly suitable for darkfield observation because of their relatively low density.
Lowicryl HM20 Non-polar Embedding Kit is designed for use at temperature as low as -70oC.
Kit Contains: 3x225gm of Monomer E, 1x130gm of Crosslinker D and 1×4.8gm of Initiator C (not shown)
