Paraffin
Tape-Transfer System – Paraffin Sectioning Aid (PSA)
The Paraffin Tape-Transfer System utilizes a tape-transfer method similar to CryoJane™ for rotary microtomes. Sections are captured flat and uncompressed on a tape-window as they are cut and then transferred to an adhesive coated slide. It is very useful for difficult to cut paraffin sections, specimens are poorly fixed or poorly infiltrated.
Sections are immediately ready for deparaffinization. It is used widely for Tissue Microarrays and recommended for Laser Captured Microdissection (LCM). The method eliminates the need for the water bath and drying step.
Reference: Konomen, J. et al. Tissue Microarrays for High-throughput Molecular Profiling of Tumor Specimens. Nature Medicine. Vol. 4 No. 7, pp.844-847 (July 1998).
Tumor Array Construction: The following is the procedures for using the Adhesive Coated Tape sectioning system.
- Small tissue core biopsies are punched from selected regions of donor blocks using a thin-wall stainless steel tube (See EMS Micro-Punch, Cat. #69036-10 for 1mm, #69036-07for .7mm etc). H&E-stained sections over-laid on the surface of the donor blocks guide sampling from morphologically representative sites in the tumors.
- A solid stainless steel stylet transfers tissue cores into defined array coordinates in the recipient block.
- An adhesive-coated tape sectioning system assists in cutting the tissue micro-array block. Each tissue element in the array is 0.6mm in diameter and spacing between two adjacent array elements is 0.1mm.

Heated Forceps / Tweezers System
This forceps warmer system is digitally controlled and allows for two pairs of forceps to be used simultaneously. The temperature of each pair of forceps can be set individually by an easy-to-read keypad. The unique design ensures that the arms of the forceps are always proportionately cooler than the tips, making them more comfortable to use.
The system consists of a low profile unit with an easy-to-read digital display and keypad and is powered by a multi-voltage power supply. The system and the forceps are supplied separately. The forceps are available in three sizes – 1mm (red), 2 mm (yellow), and 4 mm (blue).

Histo
Orientator
The convenient 2"x2" (51x51mm) heated surface can be used for either "de-wrinkling" of paraffin sections or for the "rapid attachment" of fresh frozen sections. A quick touch of the slide to the hot plate will remove wrinkles and bubbles on your sections. You can also keep a unit on your cryostat to ensure solid attachment of frozen sections to the slide which prevents loosening of the tissue during agitation in hand staining.
