EMBEDDING MEDIUM FOR BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES, METHOD FOR PRODUCING EMBEDDED BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES, AND USE THEREOF

摘要

In a first aspect, the invention relates to the use of a UV-polymerizable composition as an embedding medium for biological samples. The UV-polymerizable composition is a composition with a refractive index ranging from n = 1.45 to n = 1.6 after a polymerization process. In another aspect, the invention relates to a method for producing embedded biological samples using said UV-polymerizable composition and to the embedded biological samples themselves. The biological samples can be used in a wide variety of areas, such as diagnostics among others, and are suitable in particular for RNA-based diagnostics.
