Multi-Task BEEM capsule holder

This Multi-Task BEEM Capsule Holder is an innovative holder designed to hold size "00" BEEM capsules during resin polymerisation.

This holder is also a perfect tool when embedding and polymerising resin by microwave, especially when the embedment needs to be performed under water. The direct contact of the microwave energy with the resin inside the microwave usually causes the resin to heat up too quickly, which leads to microbubbles forming inside the resin block and causing unknown damage to the tissues. To help eliminate this problem, the resin capsule should be immersed in the water bath during microwave irradiation of the resin. This 'indirect contact' of microwave energy to the resin will help the embedding block polymerise nicely and homogeneously and also avoids the overheating of the tissue.

Mould is machined from a polyethylene block, comes in two parts: the bottom part, which holds the BEEM capsule, and the second part, which is placed on top and is secured by two plastic screws to ensure the BEEM capsules are in place and capsule lid will not pop out during underwater polymerisation or microwave irradiation.

Measures: 28.5mm L x 76mm W x 50mm H, accommodates 24 capsules.
