Tissue Embedding Media
Electron Microscopy Sciences TFM™ Tissue Freezing Medium, Green 4 OZ
An embedding matrix for frozen sections. TFM is an ultra pure formulation of water-soluble glycols and resins that provides a solid bond between the tissue and the object holder with the following features: less ice artifacts, less curling, and faster freezing.
Color: Green

An embedding matrix for frozen sections. TFM is an ultra pure formulation of water-soluble glycols and resins that provides a solid bond between the tissue and the object holder with the following features: less ice artifacts, less curling, and faster freezing.
Color: Blue
Electron Microscopy Sciences Durcupan ACM Epoxy
An aromatic polyepoxide; a colorless resin of relatively low viscosity, with virtually no shrinkage. Kit: 1200ml
Electron Microscopy Sciences Embed 812/DER 736 Kit
This mixture is less viscous than the final embedding mixture of EMbed-812. Kit consists of: 2x225 ml DER 736, 450 ml EMbed-812, 450 ml NMA, 50 ml DMP-30.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Lowicryl K11M Kit
Lowicryl resins are highly cross-linked acrylate-based embedding resins, designed for use over a wide range of embedding conditions. These resins provide low viscosity at low temperatures. All of these resins are photopolymerized by long wavelength (360nm) ultraviolet light. Since the initiation of the polymerization is largely independent of temperatures, blocks may be polymerized at the same temperatures used for infiltration. The resin may also be chemically polymerized at 60 degree C. Usable to -60 deg C.
Electron Microscopy Sciences BEEM Embedding Capsules size 00, 8 mm I.D.
Polyethylene embedding capsules with 1x1 mm face at the tip of a truncated pyramid, each with a hinged cap.
I.D.: 8 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gelatin Capsule Size 0, Volume 0.68ml
Natural, hard gelatin capsules. To be used as an embedding mold for water miscible resins, or resins which need to be cured by transmitted light. Gelatin capsules dissolve or disintegrate within 5 minutes when immersed in a 0.5% HCl solution at 36-38 degree C, within 2 minutes in water at 37 degree C or in artificial gastric juice.
OAL: 21.20 mm
Diameter: 7.34 mm
Volume: 0.68 mL

Electron Microscopy Sciences Gelatin, Powder, U.S.P., Type A, 300 Bloom, 9000-70-8, 100G
Solubility: 12% in H2O at 20°C, pH (1% in H2O): 3.5-5.0; Gelatin Powder is used as a combination Acrylamide-Gelatin-Jung resin for cryosectioning of large and soft tissues (eggs, fishes, insects). A new embedding medium for cryosectioning eggs of high yolk and lipid content. It is used to prepare gelatin-chrome alum adhesive to coat glass slides for mounting semi-thin sections for staining.
Electron Microscopy Sciences BEEM Embedding Capsule Bottle Neck Tip
Specially shaped capsules are designed to overcome commonly encountered embedding problems; such as, small or thin elongated specimens and powder samples. These capsules are also good for centrifuging precipitated matters and allows for less trimming. BEEM Is A Registered Trademark of Better Equipment For Electron Microscopy, Inc. Bottle neck capsule produces a 7.9mm OD block with a hemihyperpoloid (rather than faced) tip.

Electron Microscopy Sciences BEEM Embedding Capsules, Size 3
These capsules, made from polyethylene, produce blocks with a 5.6 mm O.D. and a pyramid tip. Comes complete with a hinged cap.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Meltmount™ Slide Mounting Media Quick-Stick™ 1.582
Cargille Meltmount (optical quality) is a series of mounting media which are specifically formulated for use in microscope slide mounting and in other optical coupling applications.
< Use Meltmount for instant thermal mountants that require "no-oven-time" and are thermally reversible for sample retrieval or re-orientation. Meltmounts are PBC free and contains no solvents. Cleanup in toluene. Fluid at 65 degree C. It is a direct replacement for old mountant mediums (Canada Balsam, Aroclor 5442, Naphrax...) It has a refractive index (nD @25 deg C) of 1.582 and an Abbe V dispersion of 33. Its optical clarity makes it the preferred choice for minimum visible absorption.
Refractive index: 1.582
