⟡ Embedding Capsules / Electron Microscopy / Centrifuged Material Embedding
BEEM® Embedding Capsules, Size 3 are polyethylene embedding capsules commonly used for resin embedding applications in electron microscopy and laboratory specimen preparation workflows. These capsules are designed for use with a variety of embedding resins and help produce embedding blocks requiring little or no trimming.
The closed capsule design is UV transparent for polymerization of acrylic resins. In addition to standard embedding applications, Size 3 capsules are also used for centrifuged material embedding workflows where compact specimen preparation and resin curing are required.
