5 block embedding mould and cylindrical cone caps

Introducing the EM5 - an innovative new design based on the widely used ⌀8mm size embedding mould. The unique two part design allows for easy removal of resin blocks, as well as incorporating many other advantages over currently available embedding products.

Made from durable polyethylene, accommodates 15 gelatin capsules size "00". The whole capsule is exposed to allow for even heat and/or UV light distribution during polymerisation. 

Body: 8mm embedding  moulds, 127mm L x 76mm W

Cap: - 2mm cylindrical cone cap

Features

• Separate base and tube sections that clip together to form the familiar capsule shape
• Care should be taken that each component is free of debris before attaching together, to ensure a proper seal
• Easy removal of resin blocks achieved by simply pulling the mould apart by hand
• The mould can produce blocks up to 20 mm in length, however shorter blocks (?14mm) allow for easier removal. No razor blades or capsule presses are required
• The detachable cap section allows for easier access and manipulation of a specimen
• For more accurate specimen alignment a small amount of resin can be cured or partially cured before clipping to the body and completing the resin block. When fully cured they form strong homogeneous blocks
• Each mould can be clipped to other moulds, allowing for the creation of trays of desired size. For volatile resins, another cap section can be clipped on to the top of the mould, creating an air tight seal
• Each cavity is numbered 1 < 5, whilst the end support stands have designated areas for writing indexing numbers or comments
