Paraffin Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-SLE-10827
The Paraffin Wax is a laboratory support medium used for embedding suitable specimens before thin section cutting and microscope slide preparation. It is intended for schools, colleges, biology laboratories, microscopy rooms, and training labs where specimen support is required for structured histology or plant anatomy practical work.
Product Description
Paraffin is used in laboratory preparation workflows where a specimen needs firm support before sectioning. In biology and microscopy work, paraffin embedding can help preserve specimen shape during cutting, handling, staining, and slide preparation when used with an approved laboratory method.
This product is suitable for biology lab equipment setups, microscope preparation rooms, botany practicals, and general sample preparation workflows. Exact wax grade, melting point, additives, colour, packing size, and compatibility with laboratory protocols should be confirmed before publication or tender submission.
Key Features
- Laboratory paraffin wax for specimen embedding and section support.
- Useful for histology, botany, microscopy, and slide preparation workflows.
- Supports thin section cutting when used with a suitable microtome and blade.
- Can be used with slides, stains, cover slips, forceps, and related laboratory glassware.
- Suitable for supervised school, college, and training laboratory practical work.
- Requires controlled heating, safe handling, and correct storage.
- Final melting point and grade should be verified before protocol use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is paraffin wax used for in a biology laboratory?
Paraffin wax is used as a support medium for embedding suitable specimens before thin section cutting, slide preparation, and microscope observation.
Is paraffin suitable for school biology labs?
Yes, paraffin can be used in school and college biology labs under teacher or laboratory technician supervision. Heating and blade use must be controlled carefully.
What is the melting point of this paraffin?
The melting point has not been supplied in the product data. It should be confirmed before publishing the final specification or using the wax in a defined protocol.
Can paraffin be used with a hand microtome?
Paraffin blocks may be sectioned with a suitable microtome if the specimen, wax grade, blade, and sectioning method are compatible.
Is this paraffin supplied as blocks or pellets?
The supplied product data does not confirm the physical form. The final page should state whether it is supplied as blocks, flakes, pellets, granules, or another form.
How should paraffin be stored?
Paraffin should be stored in a clean, dry, labelled container away from heat, open flames, dust, and chemical contamination.
