Info:Supplier Page
Our lab studies acute and chronic kidney disorders in rodents and one of our areas of interest is immunohistochemistry staining. We use this compound as the embedding medium to freeze tissue pieces. Tissue-Plus O.C.T. Compound has been used as an embedding medium for frozen tissue specimens to ensure optimal cutting temperature. It is a clear, colorless solution, free of particles, a water-soluble cryostat embedding medium for tissue specimen sectioning and long-term cold storage. Provides convenient specimen matrix for cryostat sectioning at temperatures of -10°C and below.
Embedding medium for frozen tissue specimens
Tissue sectioning
N/A
Excellent tissue sections were obtained after using this embedding medium for our experimental kidney samples.
Leaves no residue on slides during staining procedure, eliminating undesirable background staining.
None
Keep at room temperature. Provides an exact freeze point resulting in a homogenous matrix along with thinner sections.
