The Thermo Shandon Histocentre 2 provides all the components necessary, in one efficiently integrated unit, to effectively perform histological paraffin embedding procedures. Included on the same working area level are a temperature-controlled paraffin tank and nozzle (spigot) – used to hold and dispense molten paraffin as needed; a temperature-controled, three-chamber tissue tank – used to hold specimen cassettes, to prewarm empty moulds, and to provide a cassette working area; a fixed-temperature forceps warmer and a pair of electrically heated forceps; an illuminated and temperature-controlled hot plate – used as an embedding area; and a cold plate area – esed to cool the embedding specimens prior to microtomy. The unit also provides complete controls to activate the cooling and heating systems and to set and monitor temperature levels.
Applications:
It allows to obtain blocks of paraffin with biological sample for latermicrotomy.
