Contents of Compresstome® Starter Kit:

Agarose tablets

The Starter Kit comes with 10 agarose tablets. The agarose we use has a low transition temperature, so that after heating up and melting the agarose tablet, you can keep the agarose in a warm water bath to prevent it from congealing.  We include 10 agarose samples, which is enough for at least 10 tissue specimens.

Blades

We use both ceramic blades and stainless steel double-edge blades, of which the latter is included in the Starter Kit.

Pipettes

Plastic disposable pipettes are included for easy transfer of agarose into the specimen tubes for embedding

Glue

We recommend this type of super glue, which is less viscous, for securing tissue specimens to the specimen tube

Forceps

We include small forceps for easy manual manipulation of all tissue types.
