Classification of tissue embedding reagents

Tissue embedding is an important part of medical and biological research, and tissue embedding reagents play a key role in it.

Common tissue embedding reagents are mainly divided into the following categories. The first is paraffin, which is the most widely used category. Paraffin has good stability and permeability, which can keep the tissue in good shape and structure, and facilitate subsequent sectioning and other operations.

The second is resin, which has a higher hardness and can provide better support and protection for tissues. It is suitable for some studies that require higher strength and stability.

There are also some special-purpose embedding reagents, such as embedding agents for frozen sections. This type of reagent can quickly freeze tissues at low temperatures for rapid sectioning, and is often used in studies that need to maintain tissue activity.

In addition, there are some composite embedding reagents that combine the advantages of different types of reagents to meet the needs of specific experiments.

When choosing tissue embedding reagents, many factors need to be considered. For example, different tissues may have different requirements for embedding reagents depending on their characteristics. For the purpose of the experiment, if detailed morphological observation is required, specific embedding reagents may be preferred. The convenience and safety of operation are also factors that need to be considered.
