PELCO^® EM Pro Vacuum Chamber

See Table 1 The effect of Microwaves/Vacuum on the Sample Processing Times for Electron Microscopy

1/4" ID Silicone Vacuum Hose, Optional

Features

• Made of chemically resistant, microwave-transparent polypropylene and designed for vacuum down to 20" of Hg (1 torr/1mm Hg) and temperatures up to 70°C.



• Designed either to run a continuous vacuum during microwave processing or a vacuum cycle.



• Improves fixative penetration and ultrastructural preservation during microwave-assisted chemical fixation.



• Improves resin infiltration in the microwave and greatly reduces the turnaround times when compared to established microwave protocols.



• Can be used in or outside of the PELCO BioWave^® Pro Microwave Tissue Processor.
