Description
The YR458 Paraffin Trimmer is an essential tool in any histology laboratory, indispensable for microtomy and precise sample cutting. Paraffin plays a crucial role in impregnating tissues before sectioning them into thin samples. This process begins with dehydrating the tissues by increasing alcohol concentrations, followed by rinsing with an organic solvent such as xylene, and culminating in impregnating the tissue with paraffin wax. Finally, the tissues are molded with wax to solidify. The YR458 facilitates this process by safely and efficiently removing excess paraffin from embedding cassettes, sliding it across its heated surface.
