Electron Microscopy Sciences Punch Guide, 1 Mm

Electron Microscopy Sciences The tissue-tek® quick-ray™ uses a hollowed tip to remove tissue cores as small as 1 mm from paraffin-embedded tissue (donor block). The extracted tissue is then inserted into a preformed paraffin recipient block–the quick-ray™ system in an xy fashion. The finished block is sectioned using a microtome and mounted on glass slides and stained. Each tma block can be cut into 300-400 sections at 4-5µ, which can then be subjected to independent tests. The system includes one puncher, four paraffin recipient blocks (1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm), one basemold, four punch tips (1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm), and one 1-mm punch guide. - EMS
