Electron Microscopy Sciences Mold for Cell Culture

This mold is designed primarily for embedding cell culture specimens grown either directly on the bottom of a dish or on the filter when cross sections of the cells are needed. Cells grown on petri dishes are cut into strips just before the propylene oxide dehydration step; when Propylene Oxide is added, the strips lift right off the bottom. When the strips are ready for embedment, they are rolled on an applicator stick into a wad and gently lowered into the well (the strips should not float).

Advatages
Many cells can be examined in cross section.
There is no need for trimming.
The curved side makes the tip very strong in spite of its thinness.
Easy detection of a strip of cells.
The label is placed on the round part so as not to interfere with the specimen.
24 cavities.

Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS EMS Poly III Evaporation-Controlled Automated Embedding and Polymerization

The EMS Poly III reduces lengthy and sometimes tedious manual embedding procedures for electron microscopy to a few simple steps for up to 52 vials. It uses a proper combination of pressure and temperature. The specimen chamber is temperature controlled from room temperature to 70 degree C. The pressure in the chamber can be reduced from ambient pressure with an inbuilt vacuum-pump that controls pressure to within narrow limits and warrants solvents will evaporate without the risk of explosive boiling. The exhaust of the vacuum pump can vent into a fume hood.

The instrument modifiable preset programs are optimized for an efficient removal of solvent from specimens eliminating the risk of boiling. Bulk removal of solvent is followed by the thorough removal of trace amounts.

Load at the end of a workday and (when using acetone or propylene oxide) the next morning are ready for polymerization after being topped off with pure resin.
