Flat emb. molds

 

Machined from PTFE Resin

Especially useful when embedding with LR White, LR Gold, and Lowicryls for electron microscopy

Can be used for both low temperature UV and thermal polymerization

Unique configuration provides recesses for Thermanox® Cover Slips or ACLAR® film to insure anaerobic polymerization (see ACLAR® under "Embedding") Following curing, each of the specimen blocks can be removed by flexing the Mold. To restore flatness of the mold, simply slide it back into the provided metal Clamping Frame. PTFE resin is nonreactive and provides durability, flexibility and ease of release.

PELCO® UVC3 Cryo Chamber
Polymerisation cryo chamber

 

 
 

The PELCO® UVC3 Cryo Chamber has been specifically designed to provide an economical yet precisely controlled low temperature environment for polymerization of polymers and resins for cryo specimen preparation.

It can also be used for dehydration and infiltration of cryo specimens. This simple and functional unit has a large insulated chamber and comprises fully automatic temperature control for the polymerization process of embedding resins and polymers.

  • Fan cooled electronic ballast for UV lamp tubes
  • Temperature range can be set from -10°C to -40°C (14°F to -40°F)
  • Includes memory function for Min/Max temperatures during any run
  • 365nm ultraviolet lamps thermally shielded by dual pane Plexiglas
  • Holds up to 66 samples with BEEM® Cryo Capsule Holders
  • Perfect for Unicryl, LR White, LR Gold, Lowicryls, JB-4, Quetols and all other resins cured by 365nm UV radiation
