EMBEDDING MODULE COMPONENT OVERVIEW

Item Description
1 Power Switch/Circuit Breaker – Rocker switch turns power to the Paraffin Dispenser Module on and off.
Internal circuit breaker protects electrical system.

2 LCD Touch Screen – Screen provides easy access to menu driven software. Individual temperature control
is provided for the paraffin tank, hot spot, tissue tank and mold storage oven. A seven day timer menu
allows you to program modules to be ready at a specified time.

3 Paraffin Tank – A 5-liter tank allows for faster processing due to less time for refilling. A large filter in the
tank prevents foreign material from blocking paraffin flow.

4 Tissue Storage Tank – The tank has capacity for up to six Shandon Pathcentre® or eight Shandon
Excelsior™ processor baskets. The cover slides and hinges for easy access to the processor baskets. A
sliding tray inside the tank is provided so baskets can be moved to fill the rear of the tank. The tank can
be drained through a valve located in the front of the module. The staging area in front of the tank stays
at a temperature approximately the same as the Tissue Tank setting.

5 Paraffin Dispenser – The dispenser system consists of plumbing, electro-mechanical valve and nozzle. The
system is heated to keep paraffin from solidifying in the valve. When the valve is opened (by hand or foot
switch), paraffin will flow by gravity. The flow rate can be controlled by an adjustment screw. Turn the knob
clockwise to decrease flow and counter clockwise to increase flow.

6 Hot Spot – The Hot Spot keeps the mold base warm while dispensing paraffin. The large heated working
surface around the paraffin dispenser housing provides ample space for staging tissue samples. This area
is kept at approximately the same temperature as the hot spot. Excess paraffin is drained through holes to
a heated waste tank. When paraffin backs up on the working surface, the waste tank is full. Waste paraffin
can be drained through a valve located in the front of the module.

7 Hot Spot Light – A 10 watt light is built into the dispenser housing to illuminate the Hot Spot. The light can
be set to shut off after idle for a specified time and to be turned on with a push of the dispenser touch plate.

8 Magnifier Mounting – A 4 inch diameter magnifying lens is provided to enhance visibility while positioning
tissue. Mount magnifier shaft in hole provided. For delicate work, a Lighted Magnifier Accessory is sold
separately.

9 Cold Spot – The Cold Spot can be used to cool the liquid paraffin in the mold base while positioning the
tissue sample. The temperature of the Cold Spot is not adjustable.

10 Forceps Blocks - There are two blocks, one located on each side of the dispenser housing. Each block has
three holes for standard forceps and two lined holes for a heated forceps. The block temperature is
adjustable between five power levels.

11 Heated Forceps - The Heated Forceps (sold separately) connector is located on the backside of the
paraffin dispenser housing. The Heated Forceps temperature is not adjustable.

12 Base Mold Storage Oven – The mold storage oven is provided to preheat up to 200 base molds. The oven
lid can be latched in the open position for filling and processing.

13 Drain Valves and Drain Tube – Two drain valves are located behind a hinged door in the front of the Paraffin
B64110021 Issue 1

 Dispenser Module. The left valve drains the waste tank and the right valve drains the Tissue Storage Tank.
An 11 inch length of tubing is stored in a heated chamber. Place the tube over the valve nozzle for draining.
The tube can also be used on the dispenser nozzle to drain the paraffin tank.

14 Waste Tank Cover – Waste paraffin from the heated surfaces collects in tank under this cover.

15 Foot Switch – A Foot Switch bellows is provided for hands free dispensing. The bellows tube connects to
a switch mounted in the back of the Paraffin Dispenser Module.

16 Cold Plate Timer Connector – This connector accepts the timer cord to the Cold Plate Module. The cold
plate can then be controlled by the Paraffin Dispenser timer programs.

c Timer Control Switch – Push rocker switch to “TIMER CONTROL” to have Cold Plate controlled by the
timer program in the Paraffin Dispenser Module (the timer cord must be connected to both the Cold Plate
Module and the Paraffin Dispenser Module). Use the “COMPRESSOR ON” position to bypass the timer
and have the Cold Plate run continuously.

d Cooling Surface -The large cooling surface can hold up to 72 base molds. The temperature cannot be
adjusted.

e Cold Plate Timer Connector – This connector accepts the timer cord from the Paraffin Dispenser Module.
Connect the cord for timer control of the Cold Plate Module.

f Fuse Holder – This holds two 20 mm x 5 mm fuses. Replace only with fuses specified on the fuse label.

g Power Cord Connector – This connector accepts the female plug end of the power cord.

Note
1 The Cold Plate module includes external (user replaceable) fuses for the overall electrical system.
2 Additionally, the compressor in the Cold Plate Module is thermally fused with an automatic reset. The
embedding module includes an internal circuit breaker for the overall electrical system. One-shot thermal
fuses pre-vent temperature runaway in the heaters for the paraffin tank, the tissue tank, the hot spot, the

INSTALLATION
The following procedures cover the general set up and assembly of the Shandon Histocentre™ 3. Also
provided is an operational check-out procedure that assures that all system components are functioning
properly.

SET UP

1. Remove the unit from the carton with accessories from the carton. Inventory the accessories described in
the unpacking instructions. Allow the Cold Plate Module to sit level for 24 hours before operating. This
allows compressor oil to drain into the compressor.

2. Set the Embedding Module on a heat-resistant counter top. The counter surface must be a minimum of 61
cm (24 inch) deep and 104 cm (41 inch) wide. For proper cooling, allow at least 7.6 cm (3 inch) of space
between the back panel of each module and a wall or other surface. Also allow at least 7.6 cm (3 inch) of
space between the side panel of each module and a wall or other surface.

3. The Embedding Module must be level to assure proper drainage. Use the foot wrench provided to loosen
the feet lock nuts. Adjust feet for a level surface. Use wrench to tighten the lock nuts.

4. Check the electrical specifications on the rear panel specification label to be sure they are compatible with
your electrical supply. You are recommended to use a separate (dedicated) circuit for this unit. See
electrical specifications in the General Specification section.

5. Place the Cold Plate Module on either side of the Embedding Module. (It is not necessary to leave a
space.) Adjust the Cold Plate feet as in Step 3 so the surface is level and matches the surface of the
Embedding Module.

6. While the modules are unplugged, inspect the paraffin tank and tissue tank. Clean, if needed, by wiping
down with an alcohol saturated cloth. Place the cover onto the paraffin tank.

7. Remove the black hole plug from the top of the paraffin dispenser housing. Place the supplied magnifier
assembly shaft into the hole and tighten the knob. When the magnifier is removed, replace the black plug
to keep paraffin out of the hole.

8. Turn the power switches on the back of each module to the OFF (O) position.

9. Plug the female end of the detachable cord sets in the mains inlets located at the left rear corner of each
module (when facing the unit). Plug the male end into a properly grounded outlet.

OPERATION
Prior to operating the unit, be sure to read and observe the following safety instructions.
DO NOT USE IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE CHEMICALS. FIRE OR
EXPLOSION MAY RESULT; THIS DEVICE CONTAINS COMPONENTS WHICH MAY IGNITE SUCH
MATERIALS.

DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING.

LIQUID PARAFFIN IS HOT AND MAY CAUSE BURNS. DO NOT OVERFILL PARAFFIN TANK OR
TISSUE TANK.

For proper cooling, allow at least 7.6 cm (3 in.) of space between the back panel of each module
WARNING and a wall or other surface. Also allow at least 7.6 cm (3 in.) of space between the side panel of
each module and a wall or other surface.

WARNING Use a grounded electrical supply of correct voltage and ample current capacity.
(see specification plate on unit).

Do not place the unit directly under an air-conditioning vent, a heating vent or near an open
WARNING
window. Keep the unit out of direct sunlight.

WARNING Do not use paraffin with a melting point greater than 70°C (167°F) or paraffin may not melt.

The embedding methodology provided below gives a general idea of how to operate the Shandon
Histocentre™ 3. Obviously, there are various kinds of commercial molds and cassette/mold systems which are
widely used in histopathology laboratories. Specific embedding techniques are usually specified by the supplier
of each system and any special requirements must be incorporated into the following general procedure.
1. Turn Cold Plate Module “On/Off (I/O)” Switch to “ON (I)” position. Turn the Cold Plate Module “Compressor
On/Timer Control” switch to the timer control. Turn Embedding Module “ON/OFF (I/O)” switch to the “ON
(I)” position. Turn unit “ON” with display screen. Let temperatures stabilize.

2. Position magnifying glass for proper view of work area.

3. Place your processed tissue capsules or cassettes into the Tissue Storage Tank. Melted paraffin must
cover the cassettes.

4. Remove a tissue capsule or cassette from the Tissue Storage Tank. Remove the cover and place in the
cassette working area in front of the Tissue Storage Tank.

5. Select from the Mold Storage Oven a base mold which will accommodate the size of your specimen. Place
base mold on the hot spot and fill with paraffin to your desired level.

6. Remove the specimen from the tissue capsule or cassette and place in the base mold. Orient your
specimen as required.

7. Slide the base mold to the cold spot in front of the hot spot holding the specimen in position with the forceps
if necessary. Wait a few seconds for the paraffin to change from clear to translucent appearance.

8. Slide the mold onto hot plate.

9. Place your cassette on top of the base mold and fill. Fill base mold to top if a cassette is not used.

B64110021 Issue 1
23
 10. Slide the base mold to the back of the cold plate for rapid chilling. Then remove the case specimen from
the base mold to microtome.

Note
1 Some systems contain identification tags that are to be embedded with the specimen.
2 Allow 20 minutes for the cold plate to reach optimum operating temperature.
3 The cold plate will normally develop a frost build-up, the rate of which depends upon the humidity in the
laboratory. Minimal build-up will not interfere with cooling; for excessive build-up, simply turn off the cold
plate for a short time until defrosting takes place. Wipe off water on surface with a dry rag.
4 An hour’s chilling is generally more than adequate; prolonged chilling may cause minute cracks at the
bottom of the base mold with some paraffins.
Do not allow skin to form on the surface of the paraffin inside the base mold. This partial
WARNING
solidification could cause the block to separate during microtomy.

OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
The following information is designed to ensure optimum and safe operation of your Shandon Histocentre™ 3.

1. Periodically check the temperature of the paraffin in the paraffin tank with a calibrated thermometer, and
compare the reading with the digital display. The two readings must be within ±2.0°C at any setting. If this
specification is not met, contact your authorized Thermo service representative.

2. It is recommended that the waste paraffin tank be drained daily.

3. Do not place the Shandon Histocentre™ 3 directly under an air conditioner vent, as this can form a skin on
the surface of the molten paraffin in the warming tank.

4. Do not block the air flow at the rear of the Shandon Histocentre™ 3.

5. The Shandon Histocentre™ 3 is sealed in critical areas to prevent spilled paraffin from leaking inside the
unit. Large spillages of paraffin must inspected thoroughly to ensure paraffin did not leak inside the unit. In
the event that internal leakage is discovered, contact your authorized Thermo service representative.

CLEANING
DO NOT USE XYLENE FOR CLEANING PURPOSES. WHILE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AS APARAFFIN
CLEANER, XYLENE IS ALSO HIGHLY FLAMMABLE WITH A FLASH POINT OF 27°C (81°F) TO 32°C
(90°F). HENCE, XYLENE IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR USE WITH THE SHANDON HISTOCENTRE™ 3
WHICH CONTAINS HOT SURFACES AND INTERNAL SPARKING CONTACTS.

1. A plastic paraffin scraper is provided to remove spilled paraffin on the case or cold plate.

2. Surplus wax may be removed from the tips of the hot electrical forceps by wiping them with a dry tissue.

3. Most cleaners can be used to clean the graphic display overlay, however DO NOT use any of the following:
mineral acids, high pressure steam over 100°C or benzyl alcohol.
