Electron Microscopy Sciences Polyester Wax 500 GR
A synthetic polyester wax with a very low melting point (37 degree C) used as a ribboning embedding medium. Its main advantage over paraffin and ester waxes is its low melting point, which reduces tissue hardening, shrinkage, and eliminates the need for infiltration ovens.
The wax is soluble in most organic solvents, including alcohol, ethers, esters, ketones and hydrocarbons. The wax is water tolerant, almost opaque, and sections easily. No electrification of ribbons occurs during sectioning. Sections of 2 microns and more may be cut at room temperatures between 10 and 22 degree C. It is advantageous to keep the wax in its solid state prior to use.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Tissue Embedding Center
The tissue embedding center has the latest in circuit board and component technology. Uniquely designed with microprocessor temperature sensors, a single console which maximizes space utilization, high-contrast viewing areas and multifunctional work stations. The entire unit is encased in a durable, non-heat conductive housing and is controlled by a microprocessor for dependability and performance.
Features
4-liter capacity paraffin reservoir which minimizes refilliling frequency.
Heated forceps warmer and illumniated paraffin dispenser.
Warming oven with removable shelf and double hinged lid
Wax bath complete with drainage shelf, debris screen, and hinged lid.
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 Thompson Monolayer Embedding Mold
This mold used for embedding mammalian cells in monolayer culture in preparation of sectioning for light or electron microscopy. Tissue culture monolayer embedding molds eliminate the need for traditional BEEM capsules. The improved molds can be used to transfer the majority of cells from the entire surface of a cover slip to avoid losses of large amounts of cellular information occurring only randomly. In addition, other problems such as surface blemishes caused by air entrapment associated with BEEM capsules are eliminated.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Micro-Bed Embedding Resin 500 ML
Micro-Bed resin is a water-soluble resin, a mixture of acrylate and polyester resins. Universal embedding medium that may be used for light or electron microscopy.
Due to its non-crosslinking characteristics, its hydrophilic nature, and roughness of its section surface, it is excellent in preserving tissue structure, offers good results in immunolabeling, and stands up well to conventional stains.
In LM, tissues were stained with conventional histological stains (e.g.,hematoxylin-eosin) and embedded in Micro-Bed: results comparable with those provided on paraffin embedded tissues. Polychrome silver-based and cytochemical stains (e.g.,PAS) were also feasible. In TEM, images as good as those obtained with similar acrylic resins, (e.g., Lowicryl K4M), were obtained.
Supplied as a single component-ready to use pre-mixed resin. Micro-Bed can be polymerized by heat (55-65°C) or UV (365nm) at -10 to 20°C for 72 hours.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Paraffin Tissue Microarrays, Color: Orange. Diameter: 4.0 mm. Capacity: 15 cores per mold., 1/EA
The Arraymold is the simple tool for laboratories to perform Paraffin tissue microarrays (TMAs) with less time while maintaining excellent results. Process up to 150 specimens onto one single slide with very little time consuming, minimal technical training. The DVD instruction is accompanying with each kit, will step by step guide you to perform through the entire TMAs process. Arraymolds allow pathologist or researcher to view many different samples on the same single slide. Helpful in finding IHC markers for control or quality assurance from hundreds of samples. Staining markers will be more consistent when hundreds of samples are on one slide. Used less costly antibody.Arraymold kit is small enough to be stored in a drawer.Rubber arraymold can be reused many times without losing its flexibility. This mold generates 4 mm diameter sample core, 15 cores per mold. Kit: 10 Disposable 4mm sterile dermal needles, 2 Stylets, 1 Brass Plate, 1 4mm reusable rubber Arraymold, DVD.
