BEEM Capsules for Embedding

The embedding capsules of choice by laboratories worldwide

BEEM Capsules - Regular

These precision molded embedding capsules make uniform, pre-shaped blocks. It is universally agreed that this type of capsule is easier to handle than round-bottomed gelatin capsules. All BEEM^® capsules come with a hinged cap which also doubles as a flat mold. Constructed of a special grade of polyethylene which gives outstanding release characteristics it will also tend to not stick to the plastic block. Customers will also find that if they are not using a BEEM Capsule Press, they are probably going to be cutting the capsule off of the embeddment with a razor blade and the plastic of BEEM capsules has been selected such that it will cut away far easier and faster than from any other similar kind of capsule.

Be aware of the new Easy Mold™ which is reuseable and is also stackable and usable for anaerobic embedding applications. Or consider another alternative, the SPI "Micromoulds" which have their own set of advantages relative to the alternatives.

If you see BEEM^® on the capsule cap, you can be sure you are using the world's very finest microscopy and histology embedding capsule.

When curing BEEM capsules, take advantage of the special BEEM capsule holders available in two different sizes and also, an opaque and also UV transparent form.

BEEM #1001
Size 00 - Large
8 mm ID x 20 mm High

This mold produces a 1x1 mm face at the distal tip of the capsule for easy facing off procedures. The hinged cap offers a convenient means of carrying out polymerizations where oxygen must be excluded.

BEEM^® Capsules - Other Geometries

Conical Tipped Capsules (Style 00 SPC)
The interesting shaped capsules are useful for preparing small or extremely thin, and possibly elongated pieces of tissue. (Use care when filling to avoid air entrapment in the tips.)

BEEM Model No. 1001-SPC
Size 00 Large
8 mm ID x 18 mm High
Distal Tip Shape: Conical

This capsule makes a block that is 7.9 mm OD x 18 mm high. The attached hinged cap permits the convenient polymerization of resin systems for which oxygen must be excluded.

Useful for preparing small or extremely thin, elongated pieces of tissue. (Use care when filling to avoid air entrapment in the tips.) Size 00 Large, 8mm I.D.
