I am wanting to establish a protocol to do this kind of processing and am unable to find a clear protocol online. I understand that UV is required for curing, but also possibly a waterbath to alleviate heat (but this is where I am not sure...)!
Quick shot: please see /t ry in already existing Q&A of RG (= full text search in RG... if you do not know about, please just reply and ask how to do.... thank you) :
"Search Questions" eg inserting the keyword: "Technovit" will create :
and after some second reveals a lot of similar questions and the answers already given so far.... naturally you can extend search to 'search phrases' like :
| Technovit bone | or | Technovit 7200 | or | Technovit 7200 bone | or | Technovit (7200) bone embedding |, creating:
https://www.researchgate.net/search.Search.html?type=question&query=Technovit+bone or
https://www.researchgate.net/search.Search.html?type=question&query=Technovit+7200 , etc. etc.
Usually, the polymerization of Technovit resin "creates" heat and therefore sometimes it is better (also in general for perservation of morphology, antigenicity....etc) to apply cold....(ice,cool packs, cold water environment etc.) or maintain the correct polymeritzation temperature....
cf. also [highly receommended): http://www.emsdiasum.com/microscopy/products/embedding/technovit.aspx (no affiliation, no financial interest, just found their information valuable....) and, last but not least: BTW perhaps you'll find a better suited Technovit resin.....
Dear Peta, in the attachment you will find the original protocol from Heraeus Kulzer. I have established an embedding protocol with a different Technovit. I have done it step by step with the original discription and it works good. If you have questions or probleTs with this kit kontact Heraeus directly. They will help you.
