Chemical dehydration for rapid paraffin embedding.
We describe chemical dehydration with 2,2-dimethoxypropane (DMP) for rapid paraffin embedding using a mixture of DMP and mineral oil followed by mineral oil as clearing intermediates. This method is useful for classical histological techniques as well as for histochemistry and immunocytochemistry.
