Additional Information for Embedding Block Cold Plate
Embedding Block Cold Plate is a type of laboratory equipment used in the process of embedding tissue samples in paraffin wax for histological analysis. It is specifically designed to provide a cold surface for the paraffin wax to solidify quickly, allowing for efficient embedding of the tissue samples.
The Embedding Block Cold Plate is typically made of a durable material such as aluminum or stainless steel, which has excellent thermal conductivity. It is equipped with a cooling system that maintains a low temperature, usually around -10 to -15 degrees Celsius, to ensure rapid solidification of the paraffin wax.
The cold plate is designed with a flat surface that provides a stable and even cooling area for the tissue samples. It may also have grooves or wells to hold the embedding molds or cassettes securely in place during the embedding process.
Some Embedding Block Cold Plates may have additional features such as adjustable temperature settings, digital displays for monitoring the temperature, and built-in timers to control the duration of cooling.
Overall, the Embedding Block Cold Plate is an essential tool in histology laboratories, as it enables efficient and precise embedding of tissue samples in paraffin wax, which is a crucial step in preparing tissue sections for microscopic examination.
