Disease relevance of Spurr resin

• The specimens were fixed for electron microscopy, and after dehydration were immersed in Spurr resin [1].

High impact information on Spurr resin

• Human skin, containing (3)H-estradiol ((3)H-E2) after an in vitro permeation experiment, was processed via a non-extractive tissue preparation protocol, comprising cryo-fixation, freeze-drying, osmium tetroxide vapor fixation, and Spurr resin embedding [2].
• The abdominal aorta and femoral, axillary, superior mesenteric, and coeliac arteries were excised, postfixed in OsO4, and embedded in Spurr resin [3].
• Postembedding immunocytochemical labeling was performed on sections of rat neurohypophysis prepared by either freeze-drying, vapor fixation and Spurr resin embedding, or conventional aqueous fixation and Spurr resin embedding [4].
• Two biopsies were taken from the subcarinae, one of which was processed into araldite for immunostaining by the streptavidin biotin immunoperoxidase method and the other into Spurr resin for electron microscopy [5].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Spurr resin

• All three procedures gave similar results: after freeze substitution, ion contents were marginally (but not significantly) higher following embedding in Nanoplast MUV 116 resin than in Spurr resin [6].
• Brains were fixed by intraventricular perfusion and embedded in paraffin, celloidin and Spurr resin [7].
