Processing Cassette

In the first stage of fixation, MicrOflow II Mini Cassettes allow for cost reduction and efficiency by eliminating the need for containment materials that impede fluid flow. They incorporate openings on all four sides of the cassette walls, allowing for maximum exposure to, and exchange of, processing reagents. The embedding stage is improved through the use of mini-base molds that are sized precisely to fit with the mini cassettes. Together, they require half as much paraffin usage when embedding the specimen. An interchangeable chuck adapter can be used on any standard rotary microtome, further incorporating the mini cassette system into the histology tissue process. This adapter allows the MicrOflow II Mini Cassettes to attach directly onto the clamp with ease. The result is the ability to section even the smallest of specimens without excessive loss of tissues. The solution also facilitates continuous serial sectioning, maximizing the number of levels to be viewed on a slide.
