Features
Tissue-Tek O.C.T. Compound is a formulation of clear
water-soluble glycols and resins
providing a solid matrix to encapsulate tissue specimens and bond to the Specimen Holder for consistent sectioning in a cryostat working temperature of -10°C and below
Undesirable background staining is eliminated as no residue is left on the slides during staining
O.C.T stands for optimal cutting temperature; the high viscosity of Tissue-Tek O.C.T Compound results in fast freezing for optimal section quality
