CellTec Block Trimmer+

The CellTec Block Trimmer+ efficiently removes excess paraffin from the outside of a tissue cassette following embedding. The edges and writing surface of the tissue cassette are de-waxed effortlessly by passing the paraffin block across the patterned heated work surface. Melted paraffin wax is collected in a disposable collection pot.
The CellTec Block Trimmer+ allows users to easily prepare tissue blocks with no risk of damage to the printed text or barcode on the tissue cassette. The Block Trimmer+ incorporates an ultra-fast heating system for rapid warm up, and is combined with an extra-large heated work surface which allows multiple blocks to be passed across the work surface at one time, for improved workflow in the laboratory.
