X-tra Slides have a positive charged surface which helps to bond tissue sections and cytology preparations. X‐tra slides are used for demanding H&E procedures that require tissue adhesion. Size: 1” x 3” x .04” (unless otherwise noted) Hydrophobic surface with approximately 90-degree contact angle. Recommended uses include special stains, IHC, ISH, cryosectioning, and cytology.

Paraplast is recommended for general tissue embedding. It is composed of a refined mixture of highly purified paraffin containing plastic polymers of regulated molecular weights. This supports improved tissue infiltration and quality sections with minimal compression. Paraplast gives brittle, difficult to section tissue an innate elasticity, promoting wrinkle-free sections. Paraplast Plus is suggested for large tissue or tissue that may normally present infiltration issues. Paraplast Plus contains a small percentage of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), allowing accelerated tissue penetration. Paraplast Xtra is recommended for lower temperature infiltration which aids in the prevention of tissue distortion. It is composed of a unique blend of low molecular weight polymers and highly purified paraffins for compression resistance and ribbon continuity. Low viscosity permits complete infiltration of dense tissue.

Paraffin wax formulations developed with consistent quality and dependability to minimize tissue distortion and provide exceptional compression resistance and ribbon continuity. Featuring a variety of set-point temperatures, additives, and characteristics, there is a paraffin to meet your processing, embedding, and sectioning needs. The Paraplast lines offer quality solutions for standard, low, and high temperature infiltration & embedding. Parablocks, preformed paraffin blocks, are specifically shaped to fit easily into your ASP or PELORIS surgipath tissue processors. No measuring or topping off needed. Additional infiltration & embedding medium options available, including structural support for thin sections and dense tissues.

Q: X-tra Clipped Corner Slides

X-tra Clipped Corner Slides are clipped at 45° angles to help reduce glass breakage and fragmentation when loaded into slide printers. These slides have been optimized for use with the Leica and Sakura Finetek printer. Hydrophobic surface with approximately 90-degree contact angle. Recommended uses include special stains, IHC, ISH, cryosectioning, and cytology.

Q: Tissue Infiltration Medium Paraffin

Tissue Infiltration Medium is a special formulation of purified paraffin and plastic polymers for infiltration or embedding. Thorough impregnation of all types of tissue specimens can be achieved with either open or closed automatic processor systems. This medium can be used in conjunction with EM-400. It is stable and will not break down or separate at low or high temperatures. Available in 2lb bags. Melting Point: 56-57° C. Water Bath Temperature: 45-50° C

Q: Specialty Microscope Slides

The VCE has two vertical stripes dissecting the slide into three sections allowing vaginal, cervical and endocervical sampling on the same slide. The fully frosted side is completely frosted on one side and is used for body fluid specimens.

Q: Snowcoat Pearl Slides

Snowcoat Pearl slides are cost efficient slides, available in five colors for color-coded identification within the laboratory.

Q: Snowcoat Microscope Slides

Snowcoat Microscope Slides contain a colored marking area on the surface of the slide to facilitate easy marking/printing and color-coded identification. Snowcoat Microscope slides can be used with Surgipath Marking Pens (or similar xylene-resistant pens) or pencils. Size: 1” x 3” x .04” (unless otherwise noted)

Q: Snowcoat Clipped Corner Slide

Snowcoat Clipped Corner Slides are clipped at 45° angles to help reduce glass breakage and fragmentation when loaded into slide printers. These slides have been optimized for use with the Leica printer.

Q: PELORIS Parablocks X-tra

The preformed blocks fit easily into the paraffin chamber of the Leica PELORIS Tissue Processor and will melt faster than pellets or flakes. Once the chamber is filled with the solid paraffin blocks, there is no need for the technician to return later to determine the paraffin volume and add additional paraffin. May reduce risks since solid blocks are designed to help prevent pellet spills and the need to transfer molten paraffin. Unique to PELORIS Tissue Processors – designed to suit the needs of PELORIS paraffin chambers. Promote Lab Safety – Solid blocks help prevent pellet spills and the need to transfer molten paraffin. Easy Loading – Parablocks ensures the correct amount of paraffin is loaded every time and is less temperature sensitive so there is no top off during melting and less waste.

Q: PELORIS Parablocks Paraffin

PELORIS Parablocks are pre-formed blocks of paraffin that are provided in plastic molds. The preformed blocks fit easily into the paraffin chamber of the PELORIS Tissue Processor and will melt faster than pellets or flakes. Once the chamber is filled with the solid paraffin blocks, there is no need for the technician to return later to determine the paraffin volume and add additional paraffin. Reduced risks since solid blocks eliminate pellet spills and the need to transfer molten paraffin. HistoCore PELORIS 3 Premium Tissue Processing System Premium Tissue Processing Leica PELORIS II
