Embed tissue samples and create paraffin embedded tissue blocks efficiently, comfortably and without error.
TEC-III Tissue Embedding Center is microprocessor controlled and built to provide years of reliable operation. Its 3-module design features a Dispensing console, Thermal console and Cold plate console. The low work surface with integrated paraffin block de-waxer, helps to speed up workflow. Technicians will appreciate user friendly membrane switches, the ample 5-liter paraffin reservoir, a heated dispenser nozzle, self-draining heated forceps holders and a cold spot. It includes removable base mold and cassette trays that are independently heated in their own compartments.
The Cold Plate features a large, non-stick surface for cooling paraffin embedded blocks. Temperature can be controlled from 37 to -12°C. The unit features programmable operating times including automatic start and paraffin standby. All heated surfaces are independently controlled and range in temperature from 40 to 75°C.
