Capsule Preparation Station

This Preparation Station is a helper capsule loading platform to maintain cleanliness from epon liquid spillovers from the above Microwave Capsule Holder 36131-2. This pre-loading Station avoids a potential situation of water contamination in the microwave polymerization procedure. Spillage of unpolymerized epon in the water container during the microwave procedure can be avoided. The 36131-6 permits the technician/scientist to pre-load 00 capsules. Capsules are then transferred to 36131-2 for the polymerization step in the microwave oven.

Microwave Resin Polymerization System

During microwave-assisted resin polymerization the microwave polymerization system is placed on the glass ring of the vacuum chamber (figure above) which has been placed on the PELCO ColdSpot^®. The tray is filled with water to cover the 36131 or 36131-2 capsule holders. The insulator pad is placed on the surface of the water and the lid placed on the tray. There are two holes in the lid so that the temperature probe can be inserted to monitor heating rates. This new system controls the rate of heating and the temperature maximum (100°C) without the loss of water during the polymerization process. Microwave oven wattage will control the heating rate which ensures a quality polymerization each run.

Temperature Restrictive Temperature Probe with PTFE Coating

This PTFE-coated probe is supplied with the PELCO BioWave® Pro and is a replacement probe for all the previous PELCO^® Microwave systems as well.

It is used to monitor and/or maintain preset temperature maximums during microwave processing. The temperature probe is accurate to ±1°C (from 0°C to 100°C) and will maintain ±1°C in water and most fixative solutions. The 10cm probe is protected with a PTFE coating for decalcification and special stain applications. It has a 40cm long lead and is designed to fit into Product No. 36138 PTFE Probe Stand. This all PTFE stand is microwave safe and has a 12 cm long arm that can be adjusted up and down over an 18cm range to allow precise location of the probe into processing vessels or an individual wellplate opening. The Product No. 3536 PELCO® EM Microwave Vacuum Chamber is designed for use with this temperature probe as well.

Because of the high precision of the thermistor transducer no temperature recalibration is necessary when replacing temperature probes.
