Frozen Sections Become a Work of Art!
Precision Cryoembedding System
Easily achieve proper specimen orientation and perfect embedding with the unique Precision Cryoembedding System. The Precision System was developed by American pathologist, Dr. Stephen Peters, to expedite and improve frozen sections and shorten the learning process for pathology residents. The system’s individual components can be used in a variety of embedding procedures to perfectly embed and properly orient almost any type of specimen. The process is comfortably performed inside the cryostat using stainless steel well bars, chucks, and freezing blocks. Since the Precision Cryoembedding System’s components are stored at cold temperatures, most specimens freeze in 20 to 60 seconds, depending upon their size and the selected freezing technique. This significantly reduces turn-around time. And, your well-oriented, flat specimens will be conserved during the trimming process! What else could you ask for?
The Precision Cryoembedding System consists of:
•3 well bars in 3 sizes (18, 24 and 30 mm)
•6 small stages (chucks)
•4 large stages (chucks)
•4 over-stage heat extractors
•1 storage bin for stages
•16 dispensing slides
•1 cutting board/freezing griddle
•1 elevated heat extractor
•1 pair of angled embedding forceps and accessories
