Description

Lowicryl K11M is a specialized, low-viscosity acrylic resin designed for demanding embedding and impregnation applications in electron microscopy. This product matters because it offers superior low-temperature polymerization properties, enabling the preservation of fine ultrastructural details and antigenicity in biological samples. It is an essential material for research laboratories, diagnostic facilities, and industrial quality control units engaged in advanced microscopy and immunocytochemistry.

Application

• Low-temperature embedding medium for transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
• Sample impregnation and embedding for immunogold labeling and immunocytochemistry studies.
• Preparation of ultrathin sections for high-resolution structural analysis in cell biology and pathology.
• Embedding of heat-sensitive specimens to preserve antigenic sites and enzyme activity.
• Support matrix for cryo-ultramicrotomy and related techniques.
• Specialized applications in materials science for embedding delicate polymers or composites.

Quality Control

Our Lowicryl K11M is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency critical for reproducible microscopy results. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including assessment of viscosity, polymerization characteristics, and clarity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific performance data are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated). Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents. Allow the product to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
