OCT Compound contains a blend of glycols and resins that are water soluble to provide a convenient specimen matrix for cryostat sectioning at temperatures of -10˚C and below.
OCT is clear and leaves no residue, which means it does not stain. Once dissected, the tissue can be mounted in OCT Compound and can be frozen between -20 and -80˚C.
Supplied in a 118ml (4oz) squeeze bottle, Tissue-Plus O.C.T. Compound is a worldwide solution for embedding frozen tissue specimens to ensure optimal cutting temperature.
