Easy-Mold embedding mould trays

A newly designed mould which is convenient and offers better embedments. This tray-and-mould in one unit offers a unique specimen block that no other mould can.

Features

1. Trays-and-moulds are self standing. There is no need for a holding tray
2. Easy Orientation of Specimens.
   The tip of each mould is only 0.3mm thick and is designed to be transparent. This facilitates the orientation of your specimen prior to polymerisation
3. They form a Universal Block.
   Many microscopists have to embed large specimens. The Easy Mould tip forms a flat block face which is wide enough for large specimens. This wide surface helps to prevent air bubbles being trapped around the specimen during polymerisation. In addition, a positive guide form on the block offers an accurate position for clamping
4. Free Airflow for Even Polymerisation.
   Easy Mould trays raise the moulds away from the surface of the oven, allowing air of a constant temperature to circulate freely and evenly around the specimen tip during the hardening process
5. Sealing of Capsules
   If you are using Acrylate or other volatile embedding mediums (LR White, GMA, HPMA), the moulds can be sealed by placing another Easy Mould on the top, and by applying a little pressure you can seal the capsule completely
6. Easy to Remove the Polymerised Block.
   Due to the softness of the bottom of the mould, to release the block simply push the bottom of the mould with your thumb and your block will just pop out. There is no need for razor blades or a Capsule Press!
7. Convenient Storage and Identification of Sectioned Blocks
   Each cavity on the Easy Mould is numbered, and data can be written on the trays. Used Easy Moulds can be used for the storage of blocks which have already been sectioned, and filed away by stacking one tray on top of another. There is no need for block storage boxes
