Overview

Cool and Contoured

• All user contact points are smooth and insulated, providing a cool and comfortable workspace. The casework has been precision sculpted to avoid pressure points and uncomfortable heated areas
• Cool LED lighting provides specimen illumination at five user-selectable intensities, without the clutter of awkward remote lighting. A low-profile dispense head further enhances specimen visibility

High Capacity Throughput

• The HistoStar can accept baskets from any tissue processor with its large-capacity tissue storage tank. The 5L paraffin reservoir is one of the largest basket storage compartments, holds up to 72 blocks at a time, and, along with the large area cold plate, is designed for maximum productivity in the busiest of laboratories
• Any sample size can be handled with ease. A simple adjustment moves the dispensing paddle to accommodate the samples you are working with. Even Mega cassettes can be embedded. Two different nozzle lengths allow for adaptation to personal convenience
• Large easy to read touch screen display allows quick access to the precise temperature controls and other parameters. Programmable “sleep” mode saves energy and accommodates user workflow
• Integrated ParaTrimmer™ – excess paraffin can be removed during the embedding process without scraping
• Adjustable cold plate with temperature range from -12 to -3 ºC with a tolerance of +/- 1 ºC.
