OCT Plus Cryo Embedding Matrix

OCT cryo microtomy embedding medium is designed for use at -20°C and below. The medium freezes rapidly with minimal damage from crystal formation and is an ideal support medium for cutting tissue sections. Key Benefits: - Liquid level visible in easy to use dispenser - Miscible with water to facilitate easy removal of tissue from the block holder - Easily dissolved from the microscope slide before staining - High viscosity to ensure strong adhesion of the tissue to the holder allowing correct orientation of the specimen while the medium is liquid - Freezes rapidly with minimal damage by crystal formation - Can be used as an infiltrating media for tissues that tend to shatter on cutting, such as brain
