BEEM^® Products

Specimen Embedding Capsules

A hinged cap is used for closure or may be used for making flat-tipped molds.

Hardened blocks may be removed using a BEEM^® Capsule Press. Filling the capsules is made easier with BEEM^® Capsule Holders (#132, 132B).

Capsule size 00 is preferred, but for specimens with certain shapes (long, particulate) see BEEM® bottle-neck or conical capsules. For smaller specimen sizes, a smaller capsule size is available.

Polyethylene capsules have long been preferred in standard EM resin preparation. Acrylic resins and UV polymerization technology have increased the use of gelatin capsules.
