Beschreibung
OCT Embedding Matrix, for histology, ready-to-use, Density (D) 1,034 g/cm³, Boiling point (bp) 100 °C, Storage temp. +15 to +25 °C
OCT is a cryo embedding matrix designed for cryostat sectioning of tissue specimens, at temperatures of -10 °C and below. OCT is designed as a supportive and protective aid. The resulting frozen sections are used to rapidly perform examination in laboratory.
- 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
OCT cryo microtomy embedding medium is designed for use at -20 °C to -30 °C. The medium freezes rapidly with minimal damage from crystal formation and is an ideal support medium for cutting tissue sections.
