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 #1001-B
Size 3 - Small
5.6 mm ID x 14 mm High
This mold produces blocks with a pyramidal tip. 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.
Large-00 8 mm ID x 18 mm High Conical Tip
Makes a block that is 7.9 mm OD
Bottle Neck (Cylindrical Tip)
BEEM Style: 1001-SPB
Size 00 Large
8 mm ID x 18 mm High
Distal Tip Shape: Cylindrical (bottle neck)
This capsule makes a block that is 8 mm ID x 18 mm high. The attached
hinged cap permits the convenient polymerization of resin systems for which
oxygen must be excluded such as L. R. White resin.
