Description
HistoGel™ Specimen Processing Gel encapsulates and secures histological and cytological specimens during processing. It effectively handles even the smallest, most friable, or viscous samples and ensures specimen integrity throughout the process.
Key Benefits:
- Complete Encapsulation: Retains the entire specimen during processing, allowing chemical reagents to penetrate without specimen loss.
- Enhanced Performance: Outperforms traditional agarose gel mixtures and thromboplastin at a lower cost.
- Stain-Free Clarity: Prevents histological stains from adhering, avoiding unwanted slide discoloration.
- Seamless Sectioning: Remains virtually invisible during sectioning and stays secure in the paraffin block, preventing dislodgement during cutting.
Simple 5-Step Procedure:
- Heat (60°C): Warm HistoGel™ to 60°C for easy dispensing. Maintain a constant 50°C with an incubator for convenience.
- Dispense: Use pipets to apply one to five drops of the liquefied gel onto the specimen.
- Cool (20°C): Allow the gel to solidify at room temperature or use the WonderBlock to speed up the cooling process by up to five times.
- Process: Place the hardened specimen in a cassette or close the cassette if formed inside, and process it with other samples.
- Embed: Embed the processed specimen button in paraffin, ensuring that sections capture all cells for accurate observation.
Specifications:
- Tube Volume: 10 ml per tube
- Packaging: 12 tubes per box
Additional Compatibility: Combine HistoGel™ with HistoScreen™ Biopsy Cassettes. The unique mesh lining securely attaches the gel droplet to the cassette base, offering unmatched specimen protection.
HistoGel™ delivers a reliable, cost-effective solution for histological and cytological specimen processing, enhancing specimen integrity and improving lab efficiency.
