OCT Embedding Matrix ready-to-use, for histology OCT is a cryo embedding matrix designed for cryostat sectioning of tissue specimens, at temperatures of -10 °C and below. OCT is designed as a supportive and protective aid. The resulting frozen sections are used to rapidly perform examination in laboratory. Liquid level visible in easy to use dispenser Miscible with water to facilitate easy removal of tissue from the block holder Easily dissolved from the microscope slide before staining High viscosity to ensure strong adhesion of the tissue to the holder allowing correct orientation of the specimen while the medium is liquid Freezes rapidly with minimal damage by crystal formation Can be used as an infiltrating media for tissues that tend to shatter on cutting, such as brain OCT cryo microtomy embedding medium is designed for use at -20 °C to -30 °C. The medium freezes rapidly with minimal damage from crystal formation and is an ideal support medium for cutting tissue sections. In vitro diagnostic medical device class A
