Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of basic medical experiments, in particular to a cylindrical embedding mold suitable for frozen sections of rodent brain tissue. Background Art
[0002] In the frozen section experiment, the dehydrated and fixed tissue is embedded in OCT glue. After the glue is quickly frozen into a solid, it is placed on a freezing microtome and continuously cut into tissue sections of different thicknesses according to the experimental requirements for subsequent staining experiments. The presentation of complete tissue sections requires high tissue embedding. Generally, embedding molds are used for embedding. OCT glue is poured into the mold. After the bubbles in the glue are naturally discharged, the tissue is placed vertically, and then the embedding mold is placed in liquid nitrogen or a -80℃ refrigerator for quick freezing. After the OCT glue solidifies, it is taken out, marked, and stored in a -20℃ refrigerator.
[0003] After the tissue block is embedded in the stainless steel mold, it is difficult to remove the tissue block from the mold. It needs to be placed at room temperature for a period of time or soaked in warm water to remove the embedded block, which can easily cause the OCT glue to melt. Use a marker to mark the sample name on the mold after embedding. After freezing at -80℃, the mark is easy to disappear due to the PVC and stainless steel materials, which is not conducive to distinguishing the samples later.
[0004] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a cylindrical embedding mold suitable for frozen sections of rodent brain tissue, so as to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a cylindrical embedding mold suitable for frozen sections of rodent brain tissue, comprising: a cylindrical mold, the cylindrical mold having a mold bottom plate, the cylindrical mold being made of aluminum foil as a whole;
[0007] A split pull line is fitted on the inner side of the arc-shaped side plate of the cylindrical mold, and the split pull line is closed as a whole; wherein the left pull line, the bottom pull line, the right pull line and the U-shaped pull line of the split pull line are connected end to end in sequence; the bottom pull line is at a certain distance from the bottom plate of the mold.
[0008] In an optional embodiment, label paper is pasted on the outer side of the arc-shaped side plate of the cylindrical mold.
[0009] In an optional embodiment, the diameters of the mold bottom plate and the arc-shaped side plates of the cylindrical mold are both 25 mm; and the height of the cylindrical mold is 35 mm.
[0010] In an optional embodiment, the left pull wire is parallel to the right pull wire, and the distance between the left pull wire and the right pull wire is 5mm-8mm.
[0011] In an optional embodiment, the distance between the bottom pull wire and the mold bottom plate is greater than 5 mm.
[0012] In an optional embodiment, the pulling U-shaped line extends out of the top of the curved side plate of the cylindrical mold.
[0013] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the cylindrical embedding mold can be easily torn open by pulling the splitting line (easy-tear line) inside the mold to the outside and below, and the aluminum foil can be easily torn open to take out the tissue embedding block. If there is still some tissue embedding block left after slicing to be stored, the torn original aluminum foil of the mold can be used to wrap the tissue embedding block for easy storage again. In addition, a label paper is attached to the outside of the mold for sample identification, and the label is firm and does not disappear due to too low storage temperature.
