Paraffin Embedding Center

Description

This equipment embeds tissue samples and creates paraffin-embedded tissue blocks efficiently and without error to produce better micro-sections of desired sample/tissues. It has a 3-module design that features a Dispensing console, Thermal console, and a Cold plate console . The low work surface with integrated paraffin block de-waxer helps to speed up workflow. 

Capabilities

  • Advanced Microprocessor Control
    Integrated microprocessor system ensures precise temperature regulation, operational stability, and consistent performance for reliable daily use.
  • Enhanced User Convenience
    Heated forceps warmer and illuminated paraffin dispensing area improve visibility, precision, and ease of operation during embedding procedures.
  • Integrated Warming Oven
    Built-in warming oven with removable shelf provides convenient access to preheated base molds, ensuring optimal embedding conditions.
  • Efficient Wax Bath System
    Complete wax bath includes drainage shelf, debris screen, and hinged lid for clean operation and simplified maintenance.
  • Heated Work Surface with Integrated Drainage
    Flat, temperature-controlled working surface allows excess paraffin to drain beneath the surface directly into the wax bath, maintaining a clean workspace.
  • Dual Activation Control
    Hand and foot switch operation offers flexible, ergonomic control of the paraffin dispensing head.
  • High-Capacity Cold Plate
    Compressor-cooled cold plate accommodates up to 60 blocks simultaneously and includes a removable stainless steel drainage tray for easy cleaning.
  • Large Cassette Storage Capacity
    Spacious storage area holds up to 600 cassettes, keeping materials organized and readily accessible.
  • Universal Cassette Compatibility
    Designed to accommodate all standard cassettes, including oversized "megacassettes."
