Thermo Scientific HistoStar Embedding Workstation
The HistoStar has a heated compartment to store the cassettes which have been processed, to ensure the wax in the tissue doesn’t prematurely solidify.
Working one cassette at a time, users will select an appropriate-sized mould, orientate the tissue in it, and dispense additional molten wax from the embedder to fill the fold and affix the cassette base. Attaching the cassette identifies the block and acts as a structural foundation for sectioning.
