Lab Equipment

These disposable plastic cassettes hold tissue specimens during processing and embedding, as well as in storage. Molded from a special high-density polymer, they keep specimens safely submerged in liquid and are totally resistant to the chemical action of histological solvents. The efficient flow-through slots maximize fluid exchange and ensure proper drainage.

This new model differs by the special hinge holding the base and cover together. This hinge allows cassettes to be opened and closed as often as necessary. The cover can be removed and re-inserted easily without danger of specimen loss.

Available in 11 non-cytotoxic, non-metallic colors.

Each case contains 3 dispenser boxes of 500 cassettes.

HISTOETTE2 Embedding Cassette

Similar to M492 but specially designed to hold biopsy specimens during the embedding process, as well as in a storage cabinet. Anterior writing area is at a 45° angle to make the cassette more suitable to be used with certain types of cassette labeling instruments. Each case contains 3 dispenser boxes of 500 cassettes.

Embedding rings

Embedding rings are suitable for holding and identifying tissue sample blocks and fit well in microtome chuck adapters. The etched writing surface on the ring is marked with an identification number and placed on top of the sample block. Additional paraffin is poured into the base mold to cement the ring onto the tissue block. The embedding ring securely holds the tissue sample in the microtome chuck adapter for sectioning and then identifies the sample while in storage. Rings are available in different colors. Each case contains 4 dispenser boxes of 250 rings.

Molded from a special high density polymer, these cassettes keep specimens safely submerged in liquid and are totally resistant to the chemical action of histological solvents. The efficient flow-through slots maximize fluid exchange and ensure proper drainage. The one-piece integral lid eliminates the need for separate steel lids. The snaplatch and hinge-lock design of the UNISETTE prevent early separation of base and lid and allows for one-hand operation. Lids can be opened and closed as often as necessary and they always relock securely without danger of specimen loss. Large labeling areas are located on two sides of the cassettes. Anterior writing area is at a 35° angle.

M506 Series is similar to M505 but specially designed to hold biopsy specimens during the embedding process.

Available in non-cytotoxic, non-metallic colors. Each case contains 3 dispenser boxes of 500 cassettes.

Autoclave Tape:
Autoclave tape is used as a process indicator in steam sterilizers. It features an aggressive, pressure-sensitive adhesive designed to adhere to a variety of wraps so that the pack stays secure during sterilization and can be used on direct contact with substrates. Tape also features a chemical indicator to verify that it has gone through the sterilization process. Black diagonal lines appear on the tape after 10 minutes at 121°C or 2 minutes at 134°C in a steam sterilizer.

Core size: 3" Core
Size: ¾" wide x 60 Yard or 1" Wide x 60 yards
