Endless potential for efficiency and productivity

The Tissue-Tek Paraform Sectionable Cassette System is a true innovation in histology and pathology cassette design that eliminates the need to perform manual steps at embedding. The unique two-part system is composed of a rugged frame that is compatible with most commercially available cassette printers, and an inner cassette made of a proprietary material that has sectioning characteristics similar to paraffin. The inert cassette material also does not pick up stain or interfere with microscopic tissue examination. 

Its unique sectionability makes Tissue-Tek Paraform a significant improvement over standard histology and pathology cassettes. Specimen orientation is preserved from grossing through to microtomy by simply orienting the grossed specimen in 1 of 6 available cassette types: Standard, Biopsy, Orientation, Shaved Biopsy, Core Biopsy, or 13 mm x 13 mm Biopsy. These versatile cassette options allow Tissue-Tek Paraform to accommodate a variety of specimens, even those requiring special orientation (e.g. skin or tubular specimens), while eliminating the risk of orientation errors, tissue loss and cross contamination. 

The proprietary Tissue-Tek Paraform material withstands exposure to all the volatile reagents and fixatives typically used in histology and can be processed in any tissue processor. After processing, Tissue-Tek Paraform eliminates the need to open the pathology cassette to reorient tissue, thus simplifying embedding, increasing productivity, and preserving tissue integrity. 

Although compatible with all existing laboratory methods and manual embedding processes, Tissue-Tek Paraform combined with the Tissue-Tek AutoTEC®  a120 Automated Embedding System provides total automation of the embedding process for high quality, predictable results while saving time and resources.

Features

     Benefits

The six innovative cassette designs secure the tissue through processing and embedding
  • Prevents loss of tissue and misorientation during processing and embedding
The frames can be printed and barcoded at grossing, providing accurate tracking of specimens
  • Reduces risk of lost or mislabeled specimens through the processing and embedding 
The Paraform Cassettes can be easily faced by Sakura Finetek or other manufacturers' microtome blades
  • Eliminates the need to change the current implemented sectioning process
The Paraform Cassettes can be utilized on both conventional and rapid processors as well as manual and automated embedding systems
  • Minimizes changes in present implemented processing or embedding systems
