Precision sectioning starts with a perfect foundation. But when you’re working with delicate specimens like organoids or small biopsies, keeping them upright and centered in agarose can feel like a losing battle.
If you’ve struggled with samples tilting, drifting, or getting lost in excess agarose, our latest accessory is for you. Introducing the Compresstome® Small Sample Agarose Embedding Stamp.
Small samples are notoriously difficult to stabilize. Traditional embedding often leads to:
- Sample Drift: Specimens falling over or migrating as agarose cools.
- Inconsistency: Difficulty replicating the same orientation between different users.
- Wasted Time: Excess agarose that obscures tissue boundaries and slows down cutting.
The Solution: A Precise “Docking Station”
This reusable plastic insert fits directly onto your Compresstome specimen tube to create a precisely shaped cavity in the agarose.
Simply press the stamp into your liquid agarose, let it set, and you’re left with a perfect mold. This allows you to place your sample securely in the centered cutting plane every single time.
Why It’s a Game Changer:
- ✔ Faster Setup: Spend less time chasing samples with forceps.
- ✔ Total Control: Maintain the exact orientation needed for reproducible data.
- ✔ Better Sections: Consistent alignment leads to cleaner, more uniform slices.
Versatile Applications
This is the perfect companion for any lab working with:
- 3D Biology: Organoids, spheroids, and tumor micro-samples.
- Clinical Research: Lymph nodes and small biopsies.
- Plant Science: Roots, stems, and meristems.
- Neuroscience: Small brain regions or embryos.
