Tissue-Tek® Uni-Cassette® System

The first and original tissue cassette system is still the best

The Tissue-Tek® Uni-Cassette® System provides a secure and efficient specimen identification system, from the grossing bench to the permanent paraffin block.

The tissue cassettes consist of a base with an attached lid and are designed for maximum fluid exchange during tissue processing. The Tissue-Tek Uni-Cassettes are manufactured from chemical-resistant plastic and can be used with solvents and decalcifying solutions. These tissue cassettes are validated on Tissue-Tek® SmartWrite® Cassette Printers and the Tissue-Tek® AutoWrite® Cassette Printers for best performance but are also compatible with other cassette printers. The Tissue-Tek® Uni-Cassette® System is compatible with Tissue-Tek AutoSection® and most microtome block clamps.

The Tissue-Tek® Uni-Cassettes come in the following configurations:
– 45o angle surface and 35o angle with large writing surface
– Standard and biopsy cassettes
– Single and stacked cassettes
– Up to 12 colors available
