The square-shaped cassette holder is desisgned 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 fomalin 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. A granite disc is included with the unit that can be used to collect and retain heat for paraffin processing.
