Product
Tissue-Tek O.C.T. The compound is used to rapidly embed fresh tissue samples for frozen sections using a cryostat. Tissue-Tek O.C.T. The compound is a formulation of clear, water-soluble glycols and resins, which provides a solid matrix to encapsulate tissue samples and adhere to the specimen holder for consistent sectioning at cryostat operating temperatures of -10°C and below.
Undesirable background staining is eliminated as no residue remains on slides during staining. O.C.T. stands for optimum cutting temperature. The high viscosity of the Tissue-Tek O.C.T Compound results in rapid freezing for optimal section quality. OCT Compound is sold in 4 oz (118 ml) squeeze bottles; 12/box.
