What is the typical temperature a paraffin wax trimmer runs at?: A paraffin wax trimmer typically operates at a temperature range of 60°C to 70°C, which is ideal for melting and removing excess paraffin from tissue cassettes efficiently.
What is the temperature range of the Paraffin Wax Trimmer?: The Paraffin Wax Trimmer offers a temperature range adjustable from room temperature up to 99°C. This flexibility allows it to cater to a variety of laboratory applications and ensures optimal wax removal from tissue cassettes.
How easy is it to clean and maintain the device?: The trimmer is designed for easy maintenance. It features a magnetically attached drip tray with disposable liners, making it simple to remove and clean melted wax. The grooved surface also ensures proper wax drainage, reducing mess and cleanup time.
Why is trimming paraffin wax necessary?: Trimming paraffin wax is essential to create an even, flat surface in the area of interest within the tissue sample. This ensures that histologists do not need to cut deeply into the paraffin block with the microtome to obtain the first high-quality sections for slide preparation, saving time and preserving the integrity of the tissue sample.
