Description
OCT Embedding Matrix is a ready-to-use medium formulated for histology, supporting cryostat embedding and frozen-section preparation. The matrix provides a stable support medium around tissue specimens so that blocks can be frozen, sectioned, and handled under standard frozen-histology conditions. Reported physical properties include a density of 1,034 g/cm³ and a boiling point of 100 °C, values that help laboratories characterise the reagent alongside other embedding consumables. The product is OCT Embedding Matrix from manufacturer CellPath is intended for everyday frozen-section workflows where a ready aqueous-type embedding support is required without further preparation. Density and boiling-point data support internal documentation and safe bench handling. The plastic container allows straightforward dispensing onto specimen holders or into moulds before freezing. This ready-to-use presentation helps standardise embedding practice across operators while keeping the medium readily available next to the cryostat during sectioning sessions.

Questions about OCT Embedding Matrix, for histology, ready-to-use, 125 ml, plastic
What is this article?
OCT Embedding Matrix, for histology, ready-to-use, 125 ml, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes CellPath for laboratory use. It sits in Markers & pens, inside Labels, signs & marking, in Lab safety equipment.
A laboratory marker is specified by the surface and the conditions it still reads after: frozen tubes, autoclaved labels, a solvent-splashed bottle. An ordinary whiteboard pen is not that marker. Permanent on paper and permanent on a cold polypropylene tube are different claims.
A label is how the next person knows what is in the bottle. A GHS label carries the pictogram, the signal word and the hazard statements the classification requires. A tape or a marker is only as useful as its survival in the freezer, the autoclave or the solvent it will meet. A safety sign is the instruction that stays on the door. The pictograms come from the CLP Regulation and are explained by ECHA CLP. Workplace signs sit with EU-OSHA.
