Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Thermo Scientific Histostar embedding system to deliver improved user comfort and productivity during the embedding process.
The first embedding centre to incorporate a continuously adjustable paraffin dispenser paddle for user-specific sample sizes, the Histostar can accommodate all cassette sizes and accept baskets from any tissue processor in its large-capacity specimen drawer.
Its five-litre paraffin reservoir and large-area cold plate have also been designed to maximise productivity in the busiest of laboratories.
The Histostar embedding system incorporates an ergonomic design with smooth and insulated contact points for a cool and comfortable workspace, ensuring users can focus on the embedding process without discomfort or clutter.
Combined with patented cool LED lighting for improved specimen visibility, the Histostar also provides five levels of illumination for both the specimen and accessory areas, eliminating the need for remote lamps and bulb replacement.
With an intuitive touch-screen design for parameter controls and programmable 'sleep' mode for reduced energy consumption, the Histostar has a built-in Paratrimmer for the removal of excess paraffin during specimen preparation.
The robust design of the Thermo Scientific Histostar minimises moving parts, reducing wear and service requirements and ensuring dependable performance over the years.
A full accessory range also enables users to optimise their system with tools such as heated forceps, magnifier and foot pedal.
