Video Demo

The Paraffin Block Trimmer enables the researchers to trim the paraffin blocks automatically. This instrument removes only paraffin residues around the paraffin blocks without damage to the tissue samples or the plastic cassette.

When users load the paraffin blocks finished the embedding process, the blocks moves to trim the paraffin residues into the instrument and the trimmed block is discharged from the outlet of the instrument. Eventually, this instrument also enables to save the research time and to prevent the users from any injuries caused by the conventional trimming way.

Features

l Save time and labor of researchers

l Protect researchers from physical damages by conventional trimming tools like razor.

l Max. 600 paraffin blocks can be trimmed in an hour.

l Semipermanant life time of trimming modules

(Cutting blade replacement is unnecessary)

l Check trimmed block quantity on the LCD Panel.

l LCD Panel shows the status of trimming process

l Suitable for various kinds of embedding cassettes.

3. When blocks are loaded onto the tray number 1 and 2, the blocks are conveyed into the inside of the instrument. Sensors detect the block to recognize if the block are positioned at a right way and start trimming the block back and forth. Then, the block moves to the right to trim the block left and right.

4. When the block is trimmed completely, the number of the trimmed block is displayed on the LCD monitor.

5. The trimmed blocks are automatically extruded from the outlet of the instrument and collected in a container to be prepared by users. The wastes of paraffin from the blocks are to be collected into the waste box under the conveyer belt.

6. After 300~400 paraffin blocks are trimmed, an alarm will sound and the instrument comes to stop automatically. Then, open the front door to take out the waste box and clean the waste box and fit it into the instrument, and close the door to continue the work.
