title: Piccolyte investments for better section cutting.
abstract: Piccolyte 115 (beta-pinence polymers) added to Tissuemat, Paraplast or Peel-Away embedding media is recommended for investment of infiltrated tissues. Mixed with paraffin at 3% and 10% and used for double embedding of paraffin infiltrated tissues, Piccolyte 115 permits good, complete sections virtually free of folds or wrinkles in less time and with less effort than with paraffin embedding alone.
