What should I pay attention to when using hot mounting consumables?

Before using a hot mounting consumable, specimens must be cleaned with alcohol or acetone and dried thoroughly. Use gloves and tweezers to avoid contamination. Adjust the specimen size to the mounting cylinder's height. Final mount height should be approximately 20 mm. Small specimens may be supported by metal fixation clips. Hot mounting consumables are available in a wide variety of sizes. To select the correct hot mounting consumable, consult the user's manual.

Cold mounting vacuum presses provide excellent pore impregnation and support, increased edge retention, and improved clarity. Cold mounting vacuum presses are equipped with a durable vacuum pump to evacuate trapped air. The MV01 model's freely adjustable 360-degree joystick allows multiple molds to be filled at one time under vacuum. The MV02 model's transparent chamber cover allows specimens to be viewed through viewing windows on each side. Encapsulation is the immersion of a sample in resin to increase its external integrity. It can also bond separated fragments.

The most common type of hot mounting resin is phenolic, but there are many types of resins for different purposes. Those working with SEMs or carbon samples will want to choose an epoxy compound. And for transparent mounts, an acrylic thermoplastic compound is best. Once the sample is prepared, the mounting process begins. With a mounting solution, the specimen is ready for the next step in the lab.
