An important prerequisite for easy-to-cut specimens is a mold with a special profile which will provide specimen blocks for easy application and simple cutting. This is achieved with Histoform S, an embedding mold composed of new material with a special shape.
All essential requirements such as:
Curing temperature measurements have confirmed that at this volume the combination of PTFE and refined steel will result in a considerably lower polymerization temperature.
Two types types are available: the Histoform Q and the Histoform S. The Histoform Q was developed for the embedding of larger specimens; the characteristics are identical to Histoform S. These PTFE molds allow for easy removal of 10 plastic blocks when using the Histobloc system.
The mold cavities measure 10mm wide x 16mm high x 6.5mm deep in the "S" and 20mm wide x16mm high x10mm deep in the "Q".
