The StatLab Block Trimmer+ efficiently removes excess paraffin from the outside of a tissue cassette following embedding. The edges and writing surface of the tissue cassette are de-waxed effortlessly by pressing the paraffin block onto the patterned heated work surface. The Block Trimmer+ allows users to prepare tissue blocks with no risk of damage to the printed text or barcode on the tissue cassette. An extra-large heated work surface allows multiple blocks to be pressed across the work surface at one time, significantly improving laboratory workflows. Melted paraffin wax is then collected in a disposable collection pot. Features: Small footprint, ultra-fast rapid warm-up, smart variable digital control remembers desired temperature at start-up, anti-microbial powder coat finish, and integrated miniature circuit breakers to increase safety and eliminate the need for replacement fuses. Dimensions: 202mm x 152mm x 183.5mm (D x W x H). Weight: 5 lbs (3 Kg)
