Embedding mold tray and cassette tray ( → Fig. 12- 16 )
• Depending on the preferred working direction, the two heated instrument trays (
→
Fig. 12- 6 ) ,
( → Fig. 12- 7 ) can be used for embedding molds or cassettes. The temperature is adjustable between
50 °C (122 °F) and 75 °C (167 °F).
• A removable tray ( → Fig. 12- 16 ) for cassettes or embedding molds can be placed in each instrument
tray.
• A lid ( → Fig. 12- 17 ) is provided for each of the trays ( → Fig. 12- 16 ) to prevent loss of heat and
contamination inside the tray. For easy access, the lid can be folded up.
Warning
• Only use the cassette, embedding mold tray and paraffin tank with the supplied lids.
• Wear gloves when opening the lids.
• It is recommended to clean the cassette tray before adding new specimen.
Note
• When working with half-open lids (

paraffin remains molten.
• Use the removable trays in the cassette/mold tray in normal work-flow.
• Use the compatible basket with the trays. Use correct molds.
• Make sure all cassettes are fully covered during operation.
• Do not fill excessive paraffin to the cassette/mold tray. Risk of burning!
