Cryogenic-Gel
- Replaces the messy "runny" embedding media.
- Easy to use.
- Sticks to where you want it.
- Will not run – No waste.
It is a highly viscous, water-soluble embedding medium for frozen sections that "stays put". The gel is packaged in a pump-dispenser bottle that can instantly dispense the gel in any position. The dispenser has a built-in "guillotine" that cleanly severs the gel from the pump spouts and prevents any "stringy" medium from pulling away when the bottle is removed. To use, simply dispense gel on a room temperature block-holder. Use a cold heat extractor to form a base layer. Dispense additional gel. Place the tissue on top of the gel. Use a cold heat extractor to freeze tissue and form a block.

Tissue
Freezing Medium; TFM™
An embedding matrix for frozen sections. TFM™ is an ultra pure
formulation of water-soluble
glycols and resins that provides a solid bond between the tissue and the object
holder with the following features:
- Less Ice Artifacts: TFM's reduced water content minimizes freeze-fracturing.
- Less Curling: TFM allows you to pick up flat serial sections with ease.
- Freezes Faster: TFM freezes very fast and offers better turn-around time.
- Completely water soluble: TFM reduces tissue dislodging.
- Now available in 5 colors: clear, yellow green, red and blue

LV CryoOil™
Oils are widely used in crystallography – as cryoprotectants when samples are flash cooled, and as barriers to the dehydration, solvent evaporation, and oxidation, that may occur in air near and above room temperature. The ice ring seen in the diffraction pattern of flash cooled protein crystals arise primarily from crystallization of the aqueous solution surrounding the crystal, not of the internal solvent. Oils can displace and replace this surrounding solution with little risk of damage due to osmotic shock.
Substantial dehydration-induced damage can easily occur between removed from a drop and flash cooling. Dehydration can be minimized by first transferring to an oil drop (using MicroSieve™, in MicroTool kit 1 and MicroTool Kit 2) before mounting the oil coated crystal on a MicroMount or Micromesh.
However, surrounding oil scatters X-rays, reducing diffraction signal-to-noise, and contributes thermal mass that reduces crystal cooling rates and increases the need for penetrating cryoprotectants. These problems are especially acute for the smallest crystals. When mineral oil, Paratone Oil and other high viscosity oils are used, the volume of surrounding oil can exceed the crystal volume by a factor of 10 or more., and can contribute excess drag that increases sample motion in a cryostream. For larger rod or plate shaped crystals, the surrounding oil exerts stresses when it freezes that can cause crystal cracking and mosaic broadening.
LV CryoOil™ Is the best solution to your oil needs.
It has the lowest viscosity of any available perfluoropolyether oil (1/10 that of Paratone oil and compatible to that of vegetable oil) and very low surface tension (less than 1/3 that of water). Consequently, a dip in this oil followed by gentle tapping to shake off excess can yield protective oil films on your crystals of as little as 10 µm thick.
LV CryoOil™ has extremely low vapor pressure, excellent chemical inert and excellent thermal stability.
Ordering:
LV CryoOil™ comes in each vial 1.5 ml, enough to protect hundreds of crystals.

Cryostore® Boxes
Made from strong Polycarbonate, these durable cryogenic storage boxes are designed to be used at temp-eratures between -190ºC and +121ºC and are auto-clavable. Different models are available to accommodate either 81 or 100 Cryovial® tubes from 1ml to 5ml.
A transparent cover allows the user to see the contents of the box, and is keyed to the base to prevent misalignment. Being printed with a series of squares (numbered from 1 to 81, or from 1 to 100), the surface accepts writing with markers for better inventory control.
A unique color-coding system uses color plastic grids inserted to separate the cover from the base of the 81-place box. Boxes are made to accept 100 tubes have a colored base instead of grid. A choice of four popular colors is available: blue, green, red and yellow.
Removal of vials is facilitated by an innovative tool called the Vial Picker, which is supplied with each storage box.
- Writing surface has numbered squares for easy sample identification
- Stackable
- Vials readily visible through transparent cover
- Four colors available for better color-coding
- Cover and base are keyed to prevent misalignment
- Drain holes under base
- Made to fit freezer metal racks
- Writing surface for identifying base and/or cover
