Andwin Scientific TSE TEK CMPND OCT 4OZ BT,12/CS
The Tissue-Tek® optimum cutting temperature (O.C.T.) solution is composed of water-soluble glycols and resins that give a specimen matrix for cryostat sectioning at temperatures of –10°C (14°F) and below. This product does not leave any residue on slides during and after staining prcoess. It is packaged in a 118mL (4oz.) bottle and is sold in a case of 12.
World Precision Instrument Cutting Mats for Biopsy Punches-504620
Use our cutting mats for clean cuts through your tissue samples. Our mats ensure that your cored sample comes out whole without burrs or rough edges. Our 1.5mm thick, five layer composite cutting mats are reversible, inert and self-healing. These mats are designed for use with your biopsy punches .
LabScientific Uniform polyester reticulated open cell foam biopsy sponges for biopsy tissue. Smooth flow, keeps specimen secure. Assures orientation of specimen. 1000/bag.
Uniform polyester reticulated open cell foam Biopsy Pads allow fluids to transfer safely and thoroughly around the tissue while holding the specimen secure. The thin 2mm design helps eliminate pressure from being applied to the unfixed specimen, reducing the risk of tissue sticking to the pads during embedding. Made In the USA. Assures orientation of small biopsy tissue. Uniform open cell polyester foam. Dimensions: 30.2mm x 25mm x 2mm. 1000/bag
Ted Pella Inc Disposable Base Molds, 24 x 24 x 5mm, 500/box
Disposable base molds offer ease and convenience of operation. They are inexpensive enough to be discarded after use, yet strong enough to be reused. Made of PVC, they offer excellent thermal exchange. They have a smooth interior finish and rounded corners to facilitate their removal. Also, they are available in the same variety of sizes as metal molds and can be used with the same styles or types of cassettes and embedding rings.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Capsule Mold Type C, 12 Cavities
Our molds are made from the strongest possible silicone rubber providing extremely high tear resistance. The molds are are reusable. Type C has 12 cavities cylindrical shapes, 8mm diameter 16mm height, flat tip.
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.
