OCT is a cryo embedding matrix designed for cryostat sectioning of tissue specimens, at temperatures of -10 °C and below. OCT is designed as a supportive and protective aid. The resulting frozen sections are used to rapidly perform examination in laboratory.
OCT cryo microtomy embedding medium is designed for use at -20 °C to -30 °C. The medium freezes rapidly with minimal damage from crystal formation and is an ideal support medium for cutting tissue sections.
