Embedding Media and Adhesives
EXAKT Technovit 7200 VLC Embedding Media
The first photocuring, one-component resin available for embedding tissue or other
samples for the EXAKT Cutting/Grinding Technique. This resin will completely infiltrate
both hard and soft tissue and polymerize at temperature below 40 C. It also is compatible
with most water-soluble histologic stains.
EXAKT Technovit 9100 New Embedding Media
Immuno- and enzyme-histochemical staining of plastic embedded samples is no longer
difficult with this new MMA formulation from Kulzer. Samples can be sectioned on a sledge
microtome or cut and ground on an EXAKT CP band system and an EXAKT Grinding
System.
EXAKT Technovit 7230 VLC Adhesive
Used in conjunction with the EXAKT Technovit 7200, this adhesive is used to glue an
already faced sample to the bottom of the embedding mold to preserve the plane
parallelism already initiated in sectioning the gross sample.
EXAKT Technovit 7210 VLC Adhesive
The EXAKT Technovit 7210 is a photocuring adhesive that is used together with the Precision
Adhesive Press to insure that samples ground on the EXAKT Grinding Systems are presented
evenly to the abrasive surface.
EXAKT Technovit 4000 Adhesive
The EXAKT Technovit 4000 is used with the Vacuum Adhesive Press to mount embedded
specimens that were faced before embedding. As a thick epoxy it fills in any planar
deviations that occur during polymerization.
Microscope Slides and Storage Containers
EXAKT’s Cutting/Grinding Technique is best performed using plastic microscope slides. We
provide a variety of these slides for your convenience because many samples are too large to
fit on a standard 1"x3" slide. Our storage containers are also useful for slides that are larger
than standard Petrographic Slides. EXAKT storage containers accommodate slides as large as
50 mm x 100 mm (2" x 4").
