 Try Cryo M Bed from Vibratome company.  OCT is softer than Cryo M Bed.  See the link below:

Subject: [Histonet] alternates to OCT embedding media

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?
