    This study introduces a new plastic embedding method for bone and bone marrow tissue. The improved technique avoids shrinkage and artifacts, ensuring reproducible histological results.

    Area of Science:

    • Histology
    • Materials Science

    Context:

    • Accurate bone and bone marrow tissue assessment relies on undecalcified processing.
    • Current plastic embedding methods using methacrylate monomers with emollients cause significant shrinkage and uncontrolled polymerization, negatively impacting histological quality.

    Purpose:

    • To develop an improved plastic embedding technique for undecalcified bone and bone marrow.
    • To overcome the limitations of existing methacrylate-based embedding methods, specifically addressing polymerization-induced shrinkage and artifacts.

    Summary:

    • A novel embedding method utilizing polymethacrylates, specifically the industrial polymerisation adhesive Kalloplast R, was developed.
    • This new technique significantly simplifies and shortens the embedding process for hard tissues.
    • The method consistently yields reproducible results, eliminating undesirable shrinking and polymerization artifacts.
