Intended use: For Research Use only. The CryoCompound freezing medium, is intended for freezing medium
Summary and explanation: CryoCompound freezing medium is an aqueous based frozen tissue embedding medium designed to support tissue blocks in cryostat sectioning. Formulated to promote rapid freezing, enhanced sectioning and consistent results at a working temperature of -20° C. The ready-to-use Cryocompound is available in different colors: MON-APP900C (Transparant/colorless), MON-APP900B (Blue), MON-APP900Y (Yellow), MON-APP900O (Orange), MON-APP900G (green), MON-APP900R (Red) or Multicolorkit MON-APP900BYGR (Blue, Yellow, Green, Red).
Reagents provided: 100 ml Cryocompound, freezing medium (ready-to-use)
Storage and handling: Store at room temperature
Principle of method: Freezing medium
Procedure: 1. Place few drops of CryoCompound (depends on the size of the sample to be embedded) onto the center of the bottom of cryomold. Be careful to select the proper size embedding mold according to the size of the sample to be embedded. 2. Try to avoid the formation of air bubbles. Remove any bubbles inside the CryoCopound. This is important because the air bubbles will create problems when cutting sections. Air bubbles create freeze- thaw-freeze cycle and ice crystal will form inside of it and result in a very bad morphology due to the ice crystal artefact. 3. Let it settle for 15-30 seconds to allow the CryoCompound to completely wet the surface of the tissue. Hardening of the CryoCompound included the sample (it will happen in 0.5-1 minute) before preparing the CryoCompoundsample-block.
Expected results: Tissue block for cryostat sectioning
