used to cut thin slices of material, known as sections and

MICROTOME used in microscopy, allowing for the preparation of samples
for observation under transmitted light or electron radiation.

is the process by which tissues are surrounded by a medium

TISSUE EMBEDDING MACHINES such as paraffin wax. The orientation of tissue in melted
paraffin which when solidified will provide sufficient external
support during sectioning by keeping intact all parts of the
tissue when sections are cut.

automates and simplifies the tedious task of adding cover

AUTOMATED GLASS COVERSLIPER glass/coverslips on microscope slides and it can handle up to
600 slides per hour making it one of the fastest on the
market.

Used primarily for large blocks, hard tissues, or whole

SLIDING MICROTOME mounts, it is especially useful in neuropathology and
ophthalmic pathology.

used to prepare tissue samples for analysis by fixing, staining,

is the instrument to freeze the tissue and also to cut the

CRYOSTAT frozen tissue for microscopic section. The rapid freezing of
the tissue sample converts the water into ice. The firm ice
within the tissue acts as embedding media to cut the tissue.

heats paraffin to the melting point, using internal sensors to

once melting is achieved.

allows tissue to relax and smooth out prior to being mounted

provides the larger histology or research lab a tool for drying

SET-UP SLIDE WARMER paraffin sections in minutes in order to perform routine
staining or immunohistochemistry. The slide warmer is
equipped with a digital temperature control and LED
readout. The slide warmer plate holds up to 56 slides.

a manually operated cutting device for all types of work with

SET-UP SLIDE WARMER paraffin and hard cutting technology in the field of biology,
medicine, and industry. It is used for making microscopic
preparations for subsequent illumination (e.g., human
tissue).

is a device that uses centrifugal force to separate particles of

CUSTO HIGH SPEED CENTRIFUGE different mass or densities suspended in a liquid. Rotating
the solution in the tube at high speeds gives the angular
momentum of each particle a centrifugal force proportional
to its mass.
