Using the mPrep/s™ Prepare the specimen


• Trim and dissect on Workstation surface


• Use shallow wells to keep specimens organized


• Add water or fixative to wells during dissection


mPrep/s™


Everything you need to work efficiently while preparing your samples using mPrep/s™ easily accomplished with the mPrep/s™


WorkStation for TEM and SEM Features


capsules is WorkStation.


Simply load the capsule onto the built-in insertion tool at the center of the workstation, detach the screen from the capsule, use the lever to open the screen and insert the specimen. Then release the lever and re-attach the capsule. Once loaded, the sample requires no additional handling – even for TEM embedding or SEM mounting.


The mPrep/s™Workstation's polyethylene surface


minimizes dulling of dissection tools and is fully immersible for for easy cleaning between uses. Molded into the surface are 12 dissection wells to organize your specimens and keep them wet if desired. At the back, 12 capsule wells and 3 screen holders conveniently hold these prior to use. On either side of the workstation, a total of 24 capsule wells can hold loaded capsules and keep them wet while loading into the channels of the pipettor. Single and multichannel pipettor kits are sold separately. Additional recommended accessories for use with the mPrep/s™
