Kulzer Technovit® 9100 Plastic Embedding System (MMA)

Kulzer Technovit® 9100 is a plastic embedding system based on MMA (methyl methacrylate). It is used in medicine, botany and zoology.

Kulzer Technovit® 9100 was specifically developed for the embedding of mineralized tissues (e.g,. bone) as well as soft tissue with an expanded study spectrum in light microscopy. The deplasticized sections are for histological overview staining, enzyme chemistry and immunohistological studies, including in-situ hybridization. Thin sections for immunohistochemistry can be stuck to glass object holders and deplasticized.

Fields of Application:

Hard-cutting technique for making thin layers
Examples: iliac crest biopsies; smaller, spongy and compact bone tissue specimens.

Division thin section technique (division procedure in point contact technology)
Examples: tooth/jaw areas with and without implants; non-cemented endoprostheses with shaft bones.

Combined division-thin section technique and hard-cutting technique (target preparation)
Examples: boundary layer and environment assessment for metal implants and non-cemented endoprostheses.

Tissues that cannot be cut are: teeth-bearing jaw sections with fillings, crowns and bridges, thick corticalis, implant-bearing (metal or ceramic) jaw or long bones, or brittle, hyper-mineralized bones.

Benefits:

• Polymerization below freezing
• Uniform block hardening
• The PMMA block remains transparent
• Better results with regard to cutting and staining due to 9100 containing a hydrophilizing agent
• Can be used for thin section and the sawing and cutting techniques
• Enzyme histology and immunohistochemistry as well as in-situ hybridization possible (sections)
