The cryo-embedding medium is a clear, water-soluble embedding compound that forms a solid matrix when used in the cryostat to bond and encapsulate tissue samples with the sample holder. This enables uniform cryosections at a working temperature of -10 °C and below.
- High viscosity ensures fast freezing and optimum cutting quality.
- No residue on the slides after staining, thus avoiding background staining.
- Excellent consistency when cutting with minimal cutting curvature.
- Fast freezing for rapid processing.
It is particularly recommended for surgical pathology laboratories.
