73 Section 6 Paraffin. Paraplast Paraplast is recommended for general tissue embedding. It is composed of a refined mixture of highly purified paraffin containing plastic polymers of regulated molecular weights. This provides improved tissue infiltration and superior quality sections with minimal compression. Paraplast gives brittle, difficult-to-section tissue an innate elasticity, producing excellent, wrinkle-free sections. Paraplast Plus is suggested for large tissue or tissue that may normally present infiltration issues. Paraplast Plus contains a small percentage of dimethyl sulfphoxide (DMSO), allowing accelerated tissue penetration. Paraplast Xtra is recommended for lower temperature infiltration which aids in the prevention of tissue distortion. It is composed of a unique blend of low molecular weight polymers and highly purified paraffins for exceptional compression resistance and ribbon continuity. Low viscosity permits complete infiltration of dense tissue Paraplast, 1 kg Bags Case / 8 Bags Paraplast, Bulk, 5 kg Bags Bulk / 4 Bags Paraplast Plus, 1 kg Bags Case / 8 Bags Paraplast XTRA, 1 kg Bags Case / 8 Bags Formula R Formula R is a next generation parafin that enables thin sectioning with minimal compression and all around ease of use.

77 Section 7 Chemical Control. Airchek Badges Airchek Badges provide an innovative, simple and effective system to monitor vapour levels. Standard badges are available for formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde and xylene. The Airchek badges provide continuous sampling for personal monitoring and can give the measurements required under Government regulations. The badges are simply clipped on to the technician s clothing and a record is kept of name, location and time. One badge will provide continuous sampling over 8 hours and a second badge can be used to supply information to analyse a 15-minute period during peak exposure. Both badges are then sent to Leica Microsystems to be forwarded to an independent accredited laboratory for analysis. The analysis is performed using HPLC giving a formaldehyde sensitivity of p.p.m. ± 19% at 2.00 p.p.m Once the results are determined, the laboratory receives a report specifying the exposure per individual technician for the appropriate chemical. It also indicates the results in a format which can be readily compared to the Workplace Exposure Limits. Badges to monitor other chemicals are also available Formaldehyde Box / /2 Formaldehyde Box / Glutaraldehyde Box / /2 Glutaraldehyde Box / Xylene Box / /2 Xylene Box / Toluene Box / /2 Toluene Box / Isopropanol Box / /2 Isopropanol Box / 2 D-Formalizer Powder D-Formalizer is a safe chemical treatment for neutralizing spent formalin. It leaves a clear solution, free of solids and aldehyde odor, that can be disposed of without clogging the drains. Simply add one packet of D-Formalizer to a gallon of used formalin (or 4% glutaraldehyde) and agitate gently. After 15 minutes, the product can be safely poured down the drain in compliance with local ordinances. The resulting solution will have a ph between 6 and 9 and will be free of polymer by-product. An aldehyde kit is also available to test for residual aldehyde and includes 100 tests per box. D-Formalizer is availabe per package or in a case of 10 packages D-Formalizer, 1.5 lb (680 g) Case / 10 Packages D-Formalizer Package Each Aldehyde Test Kit Box / 100 Tests F.C.G. Unlike general absorption products, which soak up spillage, F.C.G. deactivates chemicals and converts formaldehyde into a solid, inert mass of urea-formaldehyde which can be disposed of as a non-hazardous waste. It is effective on 37% formaldehyde and takes just minutes to convert the liquid to a solid. Vapours will be neutralised in around 7-10 minutes. F.C.G. comes in an easy-to-hold pack containing 680 gm - enough for even large spillages. One side of the container allows F.C.G. to be poured, the other side allows it to be sprinkled less liberally for smaller incidents. One container of F.C.G. treats approximately 500 ml of 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin Formalin Control Granules, 1.5 lb Case / Formalin Control Granules, 1.5 lb Each Safety & Hygiene Products

78 Chemical Control. D-Formalizer Pads D-Formalizer Pads reduce formaldehyde exposure by absorbing and neutralising any excess formalin. The durable blue surface of the pads provides an excellent contrast to even small pieces of tissue. The Pads are also useful for soaking up leakage and de-odourising vapours in other applications. They can be used to line shelves which hold specimen containers that may seep formaldehyde around the lid, or to line transport boxes where leaks may occur. D-Formalizer Pads are available in various sizes and also in a convenient roll so that lengths can be cut as required. For best results, the D-Formalizer Pad Roll should be used with the D-Formalizer Pad Dispenser. Pads come in packs of 25 and sizes include 203 x 254 mm, 280 x 356 mm, 406 x 508 mm. D-Formalizer role is 356 x 15.5 m D-Formalizer Pads 8" x 10" (203 x 254 mm) Pack / D-Formalizer Pads 11" x 14" (280 x 356 mm) Pack / D-Formalizer Pads 16" x 20" (406 x 508 mm) Pack / 25 D-Formalizer Pad Dispenser For use with the D-Formalizer Pad Rolls, this handly dispenser makes cutting lengths effortless. The metal dispenser will hold a Roll of D-Formalizer Pad securely and uses a spring-pressured guide to keep the Roll in place. The Pad can then be easily unrolled to the required length and cut with a knife. The Dispenser can be mounted horizontally or vertically on a bench top or under a bench cabinet D-Formalizer Roll, 14" x 51 (356 mm x 15.5 m) Each DS Roll Dispenser Each X-Tract Filtration System & Bactiguard Pre-Filter The X-Tract Filtration System is a portable unit for removing hazardous vapours from localised sources. It will remove both formalin and xylene vapours while its Bactiguard Pre-Filter will eliminate microbes and viruses. Laboratory technicians are routinely exposed to a variety of harmful chemical vapours in the workplace, for instance aldehydes such as formalin and glutaraldehyde, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as xylene and ethanol. It is a legal requirement that employers ensure exposure remains below Workplace Exposure Limits. The X-Tract Filtration System uses state-of-the-art technology to remove potentially harmful vapours. Fitted with a powerful, variable speed fan, the unit draws contaminated air through a sealed replaceable cartridge containing material which attracts, reacts with and removes vapour molecules. Non-hazardous by-products are released via the rear vents. The unit is compact and suitable even for a small work area and has a convenient carrying handle so it can be easily moved and taken to a spill site to remove harmful fumes. In such cases, it is best to place the unit next to the source and close off all other ventilation. The X-Tract is also useful for removing fumes from air-drying slides following mounting and coverslipping and also for removing fumes from specimen storage rooms and reception areas. The X-Tract Filtration System has been designed to operate safely for 24-hours per day and can be left on continuously to remove background levels of harmful vapours from the laboratory environment. The life-span of the vapour filtration cartridge varies depending on the concentration of the vapours to which it is exposed and the volume of the room in which it is working, but typically it should be changed every three months. An alarm will sound when the cartridge is due to be changed. The unit runs on 12 volts DC for increased staff safety. The Bactiguard Fre-Filter contains two compounds that, in turn, weaken the cell walls and disrupt cellular activity of bacteria, thereby eradicating them. Bactiguard has also been shown to be very successful at eradicating the synthetic test virus MS2 coliphage, which has a molecular size of 23 nm, smaller than many disease causing viruses (eg the influenza virus ranges from 150 to 200 nm). For maximum efficiency, the Bactiguard Pre-Filter should be changed every month X-Tract Filter Unit complete with filter cartridge Each X-Tract Filter Unit without filter cartridge Each Replacement Filter Cartridge Each Bactiguard Pre-Filter Pack / X-TRACT Filter Unit (includes 1 filter) Each X-TRACT Replacement Filter Each
