| Product Name | OCT Frozen Section Embedding Medium |
| Catalog No. | RERE-0056 |
| Description | This embedding medium, a water soluble blend of polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl alcohol, is widely used in immunohistochemistry laboratories to cover and embed tissue specimens into frozen blocks for cryostat sectioning. During cutting it supports the tissue, improving continuity of sections and reducing wrinkles and fragmentation. Because the medium dissolves readily in water during floating, it leaves no residue on the specimen or slide and therefore avoids adding background to later staining. Pre-infiltrating the tissue before cryostat cutting further improves section quality. |
| Intended Use | Embedding and supporting tissue specimens for frozen sectioning in immunohistochemistry and related histology work. |
| Principle / Technology | The glycol and polyvinyl alcohol matrix freezes into a supporting block around the tissue and dissolves away in the water bath during floating. |
| Performance Range / Specifications | Fast setting; residue free water solubility keeps staining background low. |
| Specificity | Supports tissue continuity, reducing wrinkles and fragmentation of cryosections. |
| Reaction Conditions / Protocol | Cover the specimen with the medium, pre-infiltrate, freeze into a block, section on the cryostat and float sections in water where the medium dissolves away. |
| Storage Conditions | In a cool, ventilated place |
| Shelf Life | 2 years |
| Package Specifications | 118 mL |
| Product Form | Water soluble gel like paste |
| Key Features | Water soluble with no residue; fast solidification; improves cryostat section quality. |
| Shipping Conditions | Room temperature |
| Regulatory / Compliance | For research use. |
| Batch-to-Batch Consistency | Lot controlled manufacture. |
For research use only, not for clinical use.
