How to use a Unisette™

Biopsy Cassette Bottoms made of acetal polymer (unless otherwise noted) for use with metal cover Disposable plastic tissue cassettes are suitable for holding and identifying tissue samples in processing, embedding and sectioning procedures. The cassettes fit securely in microtome chuck adapters. They are molded from a high density polymer that is totally resistant to the chemical action of histological solvents (Exception: Prod. No. 27168-0, clear, which is made of polypropylene). The slanting writing surface accepts writing easily, permitting sample identification throughout all stages of embedding and long afterwards when archived. They are available in several colors. These cassettes are made to accept standard metal lids, Prod. No. 27167. Each case contains 3 dispenser boxes of 500 cassettes.

Cellsafe™ Biopsy Cassettes (white) shown open and closed & inserted into a regular tissue cassette.

Cellsafe™ Biopsy Cassettes The Cellsafe™ is designed to contain small tissue fragments and biopsies during tissue processing. The Cellsafe™ Biopsy Insert with a hinged cover fits into a regular cassette. Top and bottom consist of extra fine nylon mesh preventing small tissues from getting lost during specimen preparation, keeping them safe. The plastic frame and nylon mesh are suitable for use in common tissue processing reagents including Formaldehyde solutions, Bouin's Fluid, Alcohol solutions, Xylene, Chloroform, Citrus based clearing agents and Paraffin wax (melting point up to 65°C). The plastic frame is made from the same material widely used in the manufacture of plastic processing cassettes. If you are using any unusual reagents it is suggested that you carry out preliminary chemical compatibility tests before using the Cellsafe™ to contain tissue samples. The Cellsafe™ is designed for single use only. Interior dimensions of a regular cassette are: 30 x 26 x 4.92mm H. Exterior dimensions of the Cellsafe Biopsy Cassettes are: 27.5 x 25 x 4.57mm H.

Tissue Capsules made of polypropylene These capsules are suitable for holding tissue samples during processing. The lids have a frosted write-on area for sample identification and an open mesh area to facilitate fluid exchange. The whole surface of the base is also an open mesh. The lid snaps securely on the base, eliminating the risk of tissue loss during processing.

Embedding Rings made of high-impact polystyrene Embedding Rings are suitable for holding and identifying tissue sample blocks and fit well in microtome chuck adapters. The etched writing surface on the ring is marked with an identification number and placed on top of the sample block. Additional paraffin is poured into the base mold to cement the ring onto the tissue block. The embedding ring securely holds the tissue sample in the microtome chuck adapter for sectioning and then identifies the sample while in storage. Made of polystyrene. Packed in four dispenser boxes of 250.
