The square-shaped cassette holder is designed to hold up to 78 standard size plastic cassettes, all the same orientation and plane. This assures that every tissue sample will see the same microwave conditions. The design can be used in the existing 36200 system for decalcification and formalin fixation and expands the capacity of the older system by being able to handle 20 more cassettes per processing run.
Red hose is for fluid in, fitted with a nylon screen to limit direct flow and white hose is for fluid out. A port in the lid is for insertion of the temperature probe.

New Microwave Tissue Jars for DecalcificationThe Microwave Tissue Jar, when used with the PELCO SteadyTemp™, is an advancement over circulating EDTA. Less reagent is required and individual samples can be processed independently. The temperature in the jar is maintained by the setting on the PELCO SteadyTemp™, in conjunction with the wattage. For tissues like teeth and small bones, a 75ml volume of EDTA in the jar is sufficient to complete the decalcification process without the addition of new solution. We have found that a setting of 150W on the microwave, in conjunction with a setting of 24°C on the PELCO SteadyTemp™ will maintain a temperature of 40°C in the jars over extended processing times measured in days or weeks. |
