Description

Simport Processing & Embedding Cassettes. Suitable for holding and identifying tissue samples in processing, embedding, and sectioning procedures. Fits securely in microtome chuck adapters. They are molded from a high density polymer that is totally resistant to the chemical action of histological solvents. Designed to accept standard metal lids and will keep specimens in complete safety during processing. The slanted writing surface accepts markings easily, permitting sample identification throughout all stages of embedding and long afterwards when in archives. M480-1 is made of polypropylene; all others are made of acetal polymer.

Frequently asked questions

Are these high-density cassettes resistant to chemical solvents?

Yes, these Simport Processing & Embedding Cassettes are engineered for total chemical resistance to ensure specimen integrity throughout the histological workflow.They are molded from high-density polymers that are completely impervious to the chemical action of common histological solvents.

The material composition varies slightly depending on the model:

  • Most cassette variants are made from highly durable acetal polymer.
  • Model M480-1 is uniquely manufactured from polypropylene.
Do these cassettes offer easy sample identification?

Yes, ensuring clear sample identification is a key feature. The Simport cassettes include a slanted writing surface specifically designed for easy and clear marking of tissue samples. This ensures the identification remains legible and secure throughout all critical stages, including processing, embedding, and long-term archiving.

Do these cassettes fit securely in microtome chuck adapters?

Yes, Simport Processing & Embedding Cassettes are specifically designed for reliable use in the histology lab. They are engineered to fit securely in standard microtome chuck adapters, which ensures stability and keeps specimens safe throughout the processing and sectioning procedures.

Are metal lids included with the cassettes?

The metal lids are not included with most cassette configurations and must be purchased separately.

The Simport Processing & Embedding Cassettes are designed to accept standard metal lids (accessory model M481) for secure specimen sealing.

Lids are typically sold separately for high-volume options such as:

  • Bulk Process Cassettes (2000/cs)
  • Cassettes packaged in Quickload Sleeves (750/cs)

If sealing is required for your histology procedure, the M481 Metal Lids accessory must be ordered.

Is a high-quality, solvent-resistant polymer used?

Yes, these Simport cassettes are constructed from high-density polymers that are engineered for maximum durability and chemical compatibility. They are totally resistant to the chemical action of all histological solvents, ensuring the safety and integrity of your tissue specimens throughout processing.The specific polymer used depends on the cassette model:

  • Most standard variants are molded from acetal polymer.
  • The M480-1 model is specifically constructed from polypropylene.
How do these cassettes ensure easy sample identification?

The Simport Processing & Embedding Cassettes are engineered with specific features to maintain clear and durable sample identification throughout the entire histological process, from processing to archiving.

Key features ensuring traceability include:

  • Slanted Writing Surface: Each cassette features a slanted surface that readily accepts markings. This design makes sample identification easy and permanent for accurate tracking.
  • Chemical Resistance: Constructed from a robust, high-density polymer, the cassettes are completely resistant to histological solvents. This material quality is critical, ensuring that both the tissue sample and the identification markings remain intact and legible throughout all chemical processing steps.
  • Color Coding: The cassettes are available in a wide variety of colors, allowing labs to implement sophisticated color-coding systems for rapid visual differentiation and organization of various tissue blocks or batches.
Are these cassettes compatible with standard metal lids?

Yes, these Simport Processing & Embedding Cassettes are specifically designed for compatibility with standard metal lids.

This feature ensures secure specimen containment and protection throughout histological processing, embedding, and sectioning procedures.

Important Note on Lids:

  • The cassettes are designed to accept standard metal lids, but the lids (such as the M481 accessory) are sold separately.
  • Lid purchase is necessary, particularly when ordering bulk options like the Process Cassettes (2000/cs) or Quickload Sleeve options, as these configurations do not include lids.
Are many colors available for coding samples?

Yes, these Simport Processing & Embedding Cassettes are available in a wide array of colors to facilitate easy visual differentiation and organization of tissue samples throughout histology workflows. Color coding is an essential tool for segregating different sample batches or types.

The extensive range of available colors includes:

  • Peach
  • Aqua
  • Clear
  • White
  • Pink
  • Green
  • Yellow
  • Blue
  • Tan
  • Gray
  • Lilac
  • Orange
  • Fluorescent Green
  • Fluorescent Yellow
