Paraffin trimmer – YR458

Manufacturer: Kalstein

 

Description

The YR458 paraffin trimmer is an essential tool in any histology laboratory. Paraffin is a fundamental consumable for microtomy and sample cutting, as it impregnates the tissue before sectioning. The process begins with the removal of water from the sample using alcohol and organic solvents like xylene. Subsequently, the sample is placed in paraffin wax for several hours and then cooled and solidified in a mold. Finally, the sections are cut with a microtome. The YR458 paraffin trimmer facilitates the removal of excess paraffin from embedding cassettes, sliding them safely and efficiently across its heated surface.

This device features fully automated computer control, using next-generation heating elements that ensure rapid heating, energy efficiency, and high reliability. The temperature sensors, made in the United States, provide precision and reliability. Additionally, the YR458 automatically saves the last operational settings and has an automatic memory and restoration function, which allows it to retain the preset temperature after each operation. The LED screen clearly displays the heating status, making it easy to use.
