Microwave Supplies and Calibration Aids Neon Bulb Array*


EMS EXCLUSIVE This Neon Bulb Array is made from silicone and has many advantages:


1. Silicone has a high resistance to extreme heat.


2. The silicone holds each bulb snugly and prevents bulb spillage during handling.


Each bulb in the mat is 2.5cm apart. The mat is divided into quadrants. A mark on the back left corner of the array lid is used to key the back left corner of the oven. There are letters and numbers along each edge for easy placement on the Alpha-numeric tray. The mat size is 8”x 8”.

Incubation Tray for Microwave Immunostaining


For immunostaining, we recommend a water load that is the same size as the bottom of the microwave cavity in order not to disturb the distribution of microwave energy within the cavity. In our research, we found that between 150 and 200ml of water in the bottom of the incubation tray prevents


evaporation of the droplets of reagent. A PAP pen should be used to maintain the droplets at a uniform size and shape.

Description Microwave Incubation Tray for Immunostaining


Coverplate™ Technology The Coverplate Microwave Immunostaining Systems


Shandon Lipshaw's patented Coverplate technology is the foundation of our microwave immunostaining system. Increased quality control, time and reagent savings, specimen protection, and consistent superb quality stains can be expected when using our Coverplate Microwave Immunostaining protocols.

Disposable Cover Plates™ Cover Plate™ Slide Rack (holds 10 cover plates) Micro Tube Rack- Microwaveable


Polypropylene floating racks keep microtubes submerged in a water bath – perfect for controlling sample temperature. Detachable legs give the users more options: attach legs so rack stands upright on benchtop, or detach legs so sample tubes can be quickly popped out by pushing down onto any surface.


Ideally to hold microcentrifuge tube in water bath during polymerization, such as LR White®


, JB4.


These racks are not autoclavable. Measures: 60 mm high, including legs. Cat. No.

Cassette Rack for Microwave Histoprocessing


A simple and reliable device designed to hold up to 24 standard cassettes for histoprocessing in a microwave. This new rack is manufactured from PTFE resins, and will withstand repeated exposure to fixatives, dehydrating agents, clearing agents and paraffin. It is easily cleaned in hot water. It is intended for use with a disposable tray which holds the processing chemicals.


Four processing racks and trays will fit into the EMS 9000 Microwave Processor, so that up to 96 cassettes can be processed in one run. Using this system, the histotechnologist needs to handle the individual cassettes only once, to load them into the racks. The rack is then placed into a tray containing the dehydrating medium, usually 100% ethyl alcohol, and microwaved. After dehydration, the rack containing the cassettes is transferred into a tray containing the clearing agent, usually isopropanol, and microwaved. After clearing, the rack is transferred to a tray containing liquid paraffin, and microwaved. The whole process can take as little as 25 minutes (for small specimens, such as needle biopsies). There are no hazardous chemicals needed (no xylene !).

PTFE Cassette Rack for Microwave Histoprocessing


Formalin Solutions: A New Cassette Holder for Microwave Fixation and Processing


Each holds 64 or 40 cassettes in a single horizontal plane, which conforms to research regarding the way to achieve the best distribution of microwave energy. It is based upon an original design in wood (the 'Bamboozle') developed by Dr. Richard Dapson of Anatech, Ltd. It is adapted to a pyrex container which allows the paraffin to easily hold its temperature, and minimizes the risk of overheating of specimens due to lack of sufficient microwavable load.
