The TES 99 is a flexible, reliable paraffin embedding center, consisting of three different units for heating, dispensing and cooling of tissue samples in paraffin. The units can be arranged individually in order to optimize the work process for personal preferences, e.g. to optimise for left-handed operation. Each unit works independently with own temperature control, and can therefore be used as a single device in the laboratory.
- With an adjustable lamp, the work area can be illuminated as required
- An optionally available magnifying glass can also be attached to the lamp
- Two connections for heated forceps and six forceps slots are easily accessible around the outlet tap
- The large round cooling point is in the middle, it reaches down to −5 °C
- The housing is made of powder-coated, easy-to-clean sheet metal
The work surfaces are designed ergonomically to prevent fatigue after long periods of use. The heating unit has a spacious preheating chamber for embedding molds as well as a cassette depot with removable cassette tray made of stainless steel. Embedding cassettes and almost any type of sample baskets can be accommodated in it. The cassette depot is closed with a cover that can be opened and closed to ensure temperature stability.The dispenser unit has a large paraffin tank with a capacity of 5,7 L. The dispensing process can be carried out either manually or by foot switch via the outlet tap. Blocks that already solidified can be placed onto the flat heated outlet tap to be melted again.
