Electron Microscopy Sciences Biopsy Paper Bags, 30 x 50 mm
These bags are made from porous paper which provides maximum tissue safety during processing. They permit proper fluid exchange and drainage. To Use simply introduce the specimen into the bag and fold it enclosing the cassette or capsule. You are now ready to process as usual.
Size: 30 x 50 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences TI Embedding Rings
The most difficult step of cross-sectional thinning is the mechanical preparation of the sample, i.e. cutting a cross section and then embedding it into an appropriately designed ring. We now offer a convenient, specially designed embedding ring for cross-sectional samples.
Using this ring, embedding cross sections is greatly simplified, since the samples do not need to be glued together prior to embedding. In order to fix the sample(s) in the ring, it is deformed mechanically by an appropriate tool at the two points marked by the arrows. This deformation will both hold the sample in the ring and press both sample pieces together before gluing. Ti disc is also offered for embedding bulk samples of brittle material for plan-view TEM investigations. The rings come in 5 sizes-0.6, 0.8 1.0, 1.2, 1.3 mm.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Micro-Bed Embedding Resin 500 ML
Micro-Bed resin is a water-soluble resin, a mixture of acrylate and polyester resins. Universal embedding medium that may be used for light or electron microscopy.
Due to its non-crosslinking characteristics, its hydrophilic nature, and roughness of its section surface, it is excellent in preserving tissue structure, offers good results in immunolabeling, and stands up well to conventional stains.
In LM, tissues were stained with conventional histological stains (e.g.,hematoxylin-eosin) and embedded in Micro-Bed: results comparable with those provided on paraffin embedded tissues. Polychrome silver-based and cytochemical stains (e.g.,PAS) were also feasible. In TEM, images as good as those obtained with similar acrylic resins, (e.g., Lowicryl K4M), were obtained.
Supplied as a single component-ready to use pre-mixed resin. Micro-Bed can be polymerized by heat (55-65°C) or UV (365nm) at -10 to 20°C for 72 hours.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Lowicryl HM20 Monostep 225 GR
The same as our Lowicryl complete kits but this new formulation allows you one stop embedding without all of the cumbersome preparation and mixing. This pre-mixed, ready to use resin, saves you time and minimizes chemical contact. MonoStep Lowicryl is ideal for use in immunohistochemistry and immunolabeling. Store at room temperature.
Electron Microscopy Sciences ERL 4221 Cycloaliphatic Epoxide Resin 225 ML
Due to the supply shortage of ERL-4206 ERL-4221 has now been specially formulated to replace it. ERL 4206 is one of the main components of the low viscosity (Dr. Spur) embedding resin kit. ERL-4221 is a Cycloaliphatic Epoxide Resin.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Double End Flat Embedding Mold with Cocoon Box
No more stickiness with new storage boxes. Most resins are no longer a challenge to flat embed when used in combination with the Cocoon box. The system withstands temperatures up to 70 Degrees C, and our flat embedding of many resins is made easier.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Thompson Monolayer Embedding Mold
This mold used for embedding mammalian cells in monolayer culture in preparation of sectioning for light or electron microscopy. Tissue culture monolayer embedding molds eliminate the need for traditional BEEM capsules. The improved molds can be used to transfer the majority of cells from the entire surface of a cover slip to avoid losses of large amounts of cellular information occurring only randomly. In addition, other problems such as surface blemishes caused by air entrapment associated with BEEM capsules are eliminated.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Flat Embedding Mold Flat Embed Mold Single End, 6 mm deep, 14 x 5 mm
A clear silicone rubber with very high tear strength. It can be reused more times than the conventional silicone molds. It is resistant to most epoxy resins and its clear base allows positioning of the specimen lighted from beneath. Standard flat embedding mold.
Depth: 6 mm
Size: 14 x 5 mm
Cavities: 21
Electron Microscopy Sciences Flat Embedding Mold 6 mm with Cocoon Box
No more stickiness with new storage boxes. Most resins are no longer a challenge to flat embed when used in combination with the Cocoon box. The system withstands temperatures up to 70 Degrees C, and our flat embedding of many resins is made easier.
