Electron Microscopy Sciences Cassette Rack For Microwave Histoprocessing

Electron Microscopy Sciences Simple and reliable device holds up to 24 standard cassettes for histoprocessing in a microwave. The rack manufactured from "ptfe" resins and will withstand repeated exposure to fixatives, dehydrating agents, clearing agents, and paraffin. Easily cleaned in hot water. It is intended for use with a disposable tray which holds the processing chemicals. Four processing racks and trays fit into the ems 9000 microwave processor so 96 cassettes can be processed in one run. The histotechnologist needs to handle the individual cassettes only once to load them into the racks. Rack is placed into a tray containing the dehydrating medium and microwaved. After dehydration, the rack containing the cassettes is transferred into a tray containing the clearing agent and microwaved. After clearing, the rack is transferred to a tray containing liquid paraffin and microwaved. The entire process can take as little as 25 minutes. No hazardous chemicals needed. - EMS
