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

Histosette® I Embedding and Biopsy Cassettes hold tissue specimens during processing, as well as in storage files. Molded from a special high density acetal polymer, these cassettes keep specimens safely submerged in liquid and are totally resistant to the chemical action of histological solvents. The efficient flow-through designs maximize fluid exchange and ensure proper drainage.

Tissue Processing Cassettes have slotted base and lid, whileBiopsy Cassettes feature fine perforations. The one-piece integral lid eliminates the need for separate steel lids. Just snap apart and conveniently lock the lid into the base of the cassette. They can be opened or closed as often as necessary and always relock securely without danger of specimen loss. Large labeling areas are located on three sides of the cassette. Wide anterior writing area at a 30° angle eases identification.

Disposable tissue plastic cassettes similar to Series M490 but specially designed to hold biopsy specimens during the embedding process, as well as in a storage file. Anterior writing area at a 30° angle. Not suitable for automated printers.

Cassettes are packaged in three dispenser boxes, with a total of 1500 per case.

OneHand Microtube Rack

A newly designed microtube rack that can be used all around the lab. Although one of the most attractive racks available today, it offers all the advantages required by the modern laboratory. Made of highly resistant acetal polymer, it will not shatter or stain in contact with most laboratory chemicals. No coating to worry about, which can chip, peel or rust in a water bath.

The OneHand Microtube Rack is compact, lightweight and stackable in order to save as much space as possible. This is why it is ideal for incubators, refrigerators, freezers, under lab hoods and on bench tops. Not only is it submersible but will also sink and maintain stability without tipping over.

The OneHand  Microtube Rack is made of 2 tiers to facilitate the insertion and stability of microtubes. Now with one hand, you can easily unscrew just about any type of microcentrifuge tube with a screw-on closure. Thanks to an innovative locking system, the Simport self-standing Micrewtubes® will securely lock in each well of the base tier and will not turn. All models of microtubes made by various manufacturers will lock in the upper tier, thanks to a series of teeth grasping the collar of the microtube. Convenient handles on each side of the rack will ensure a safe grip when carrying it around. Interlocking feet allow safe stacking. Available in 5 attractive colors. Individually wrapped.

StainTray Slide Staining System & Lids

Another user friendly approach to immunohisto-chemistry staining. This tray is also suitable not only for routine staining requiring a humid chamber but is also ideal for Hematology, Cytology and Microbiology laboratories. Manipulation is made safe and easy by using only one hand.

The StainTrayTM has a black base made of tough ABS plastic withstanding a wide range of chemicals ( Avoid chlorinated hydrocarbons ). It will accept up to 20 slides on four plastic rails covered with a polymer strip to perfectly hold slides even if tray is held at an angle. When humidity is needed, wells between rails will hold up to one ml of water securely without splashing. Middle wells will hold up to 2 ml each. Rails are raised not only to avoid water touching the slides but to make them more easily retrieveable. The base will also hold excess stain solution dripping from the slides. Four rubber feet ensure greater base stability. Units are stackable for space saving purposes.

Two covers are available: 1) A clear one allowing for visual examination. Made of PETG with a temperature range of -20 °C to +60 °C. 2) A black lid for fluorescent work. Made of ABS with a temperature range of -80 °C to +80 °C

Scintillation Vials 20 ml

This shoulderless vial features a full width opening of 23 mm for ease of access, a high degree of resistance to organic solvents, and sufficient translucence so that reagent levels or the presence of filter paper can be easily detected. The unique thread design of the closure allows the vial to be sealed, and opened with an easy 1/4 turn. The quality of the sealing system is such that it is not necessary to tighten the closure with a lot of pressure to achieve a leakproof seal. Polyethylene closure may not be autoclaved.
