Paraffin Block Trimmer+

Wax Block Trimmer+ efficiently removes excess paraffin from the outside of a tissue cassette following embedding. The edges and writing surface of the tissue cassette are de-waxed effortlessly by passing the paraffin block across the patterned heated work surface. Melted paraffin wax is then collected in a disposable collection pot.

The Block Trimmer+ allows users to prepare tissue blocks with no risk of damage to the printed text or barcode on the tissue cassette. It incorporates an ultra-fast heating system for rapid warm up, which combined with an extra-large heated work surface, allows multiple blocks to be passed across the work surface at one time.

• Revised design hotplate – trimmed wax is quickly wicked away
• ExacTrim Locator – removes wax from the writing surface of a standard cassette implanted in a Super Mega Mothership Cassette. It can also be used with conventional blocks as fine detail trimmer

Mini Section/Slide Dryer

The Mini Section/Slide Dryer has a small footprint designed to be used at the microtome for improved LEAN workflow. Air at a digitally controlled temperature is blown through the base of the instrument for rapid and efficient section drying without the risk of overheating the specimen. With this system, drying times can be reduced by approximately 75% compared to conventional ovens.

A large chamber has space for up to 6 slide racks (30 slide capacities), which can be inspected at any time through a transparent lid. Innovative resistance hinges on the lid allows users to easily position it at any angle. This allows both hands to be used when placing and removing items from the dryer. With the optional 4 Slide Rack Holder in place, the capacity is 4 slide racks of 30 slide capacity.

The optional LEAN Timer system and identifier rack ensures that each slide rack has an exact optimal drying time and provides both an audible and visual indication to users when a slide rack has fully completed drying. The LEAN Timer can monitor up to four slide racks.

Exterior Dimensions:
265mm W x 385mm D x 228mm H (10.43" x 15.16" x 8.98")

Interior Chamber Dimensions:
220mm W x 191mm D x 140mm H (8.67" x 7.52" x 5.51")

High Capacity Section/Slide Dryer

The High Capacity Section/Slide Dryer is like the Mini Section/Slide Dryer but larger in size to accommodate twice the volume of slides. Designed to give maximum drying capacity for high workload laboratories, the High Capacity Section Dryer has space for up to 13 slide racks (30 slide capacities). When two 4 slide rack holders are used, capacity is 8 slide racks holding 30 slides each.

Exterior Dimensions:
469mm W x 320mm D x 346mm H (18.46" x 12.6" x 13.63")

Interior Chamber Dimensions:
437mm W x 240-270mm D x 198mm H (17.20" x 9.45-10.63" x 7.80")
