(Benzyldimethyl Amine), distilled and of highest purity 99+%, an amine accelerator for polymerization of epoxy resins. Also known as N,N-dimethyl-benzylamine, C6H5CH2N(CH3)2, FW 135.21; MP -75°C; BP 183-4°C; FP 54°C. CORROSIVE and TOXIC.

N,N-Dimethylaminoethanol or N,N-Dimethylethanolamine, 99+% distilled, an amino accelerator for low viscosity epoxies. HO(CH2)2N(CH3)2, FW 89.14, Merck Index 11, 2834. LACHRYMATOR, CORROSIVE. Packaged under dry-microfiltered nitrogen.

Dimethylamino Methyl Phenol) distilled, an accelerator. May be used when a slow polymerization is desired to allow maximum epoxy infiltration into tissue specimens. C6H4OHCH2N(CH3)2, FW 151. Packaged under dry-microfiltered nitrogen.

2,4,6-Tri(Dimethylamino Methyl)Phenol] a distilled amine accelerator for epoxy resins. DMP-30 is a faster curing agent than DMP-10, giving a shorter time for the epoxy/anhydrite mixture to infiltrate the tissue. Better infiltration is achieved using DMP-10. Both accelerators have been successfully used with the araldites (502, 506, 6005), tEPON-812 and Thiokol LP-3. Packaged under dry-microfiltered nitrogen.

DOW epoxy resin for low viscosity embedding, some erroneously call it the "SPURR" epoxy. First used by Kushida (1967) with Epon-812 and with ERL-4206 (vinyl cyclohexen dioxide, see tousimis® #3199).

2-Dodecenylsuccinic Anhydride) Specially distilled for TEM sample embedding. The choice cross linking agent for epoxy resins ever since its introduction by Gavert-Glavert (1958) for the araldites; it has become the basic component of mixture A (tEPON 812 and DDSA) along with another anhydrite (NMA) component of mixture B with tEPON-812 since Luft's introduction in 1961.

Substitute for Shell-Epon 812 with the same applicability. Manufactured to our specifications for TEM application. Can be used in combination with other epoxy resins (araldite M, 502, 506, 6005, DER-736, 732) and anhydrites NMA and DDSA. Contains less than 0.005% by weight of epichlorohydrin. See article by Kushida Todai J. Exp. Clin. Med. 10, 557 1985 and Luft J.B.B. Cytol. 9, 409 1961 for more information on usage. BEST BUY!
