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.
