Resin polymerizing at low temperatures. I. Different families and main methods

For pathologists, tissu processing and analysis require good preservation o f both the shape (morphology) and the content of the cells (antigens, nucle ic acids). Low temperature embedding resins are the only inclusion substrat e which allows both a fine morphological analysis and good preservation of antigens and nucleic acids. Automatic the technical processes and simplifie d protocols now allow the introduction of low temperature embedding resins in diagnostic procedures.
