Description
Tissue-Tek O.C.T. Compound is a water-soluble embedding compound designed for the rapid embedding of fresh tissue specimens for frozen sections using a cryostat. It provides a solid matrix for tissue encapsulation and consistent sectioning at temperatures of −10°C and below.
Applications
  • Embedding of fresh tissue specimens for frozen section preparation.
  • Use with a cryostat for tissue sectioning.
  • Features & Benefits
  • Tissue-Tek O.C.T. Compound contains water-soluble glycols and resins and features a high-viscosity formulation that holds and supports tissue in place for quick embedding and fast freezing. Its clear, consistent resin formulation provides consistent sectioning with minimal section curling. The water-soluble formulation leaves no background staining, while the strong tissue support helps keep specimens on the slide.
