[Histonet] alternates to OCT embedding media

Tue Oct 12 10:03:42 CDT 2004

What is this stuff made from?
It always reminds me of wallpaper hanging gel - something like "Polycell" in England.

TBS makes a embedding media, but OCT is better.  If you are like me and
constantly using the media during surgery, TBS bottle is much harder to
squeeze, as in comparison to the OCT bottle.  And the quality of OCT is
better.

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of alternates to OCT-brand
cryo-embedding media.  I know that there are other brands of the stuff,
but it is my understanding that they are all basically made out of the
same thing.  Does anyone know of any other media that is used to prepare
frozen blocks?
