A typical tissue embedding station is composed of several key components, each designed to facilitate the precise encapsulation of tissue specimens in paraffin. These parts work together to create an efficient and controlled environment for the embedding process:
Control Panel / Touchscreen Display: This is the central interface for operating the machine, allowing users to monitor temperatures, adjust settings, and manage various functions.
Paraffin Tank / Wax Chamber: This heated reservoir holds the bulk supply of paraffin wax, keeping it in a molten state at a controlled temperature.
Paraffin Dispenser / Wax Nozzle: The outlet from which molten paraffin is dispensed into embedding molds. It often includes flow adjustment controls.
Heated Work Area / Hot Plate: A flat, heated surface where embedding molds and tissue cassettes are kept warm, preventing premature solidification of wax during tissue orientation.
Pre-warming Compartments (Left & Right Thermal Chambers): These heated slots or wells are designed to pre-warm forceps, cassettes, and other tools, ensuring they don’t cool the wax too quickly during embedding.
Cooling Plate / Cryo Module: A refrigerated surface used to rapidly cool and solidify the paraffin blocks after tissue orientation, preparing them for sectioning.
Wax Dispensing Mechanisms: Often includes both a manual dispensing lever or button and a foot pedal, offering hands-free control for dispensing paraffin.
Waste Tray / Residual Wax Recovery Drawer: Positioned beneath the work area to collect excess or spilled paraffin, ensuring a cleaner workstation and easy disposal.
Integrated Lighting: Provides clear illumination of the work area for precise tissue orientation.
The fundamental principle of a tissue embedding station lies in its precise control over temperature zones to manage paraffin and tissue specimens.
Paraffin Management: The station features a paraffin chamber that keeps the wax at a precisely controlled molten temperature, ready for dispensing. This ensures the wax is always at optimal viscosity for embedding.
Specimen Orientation: Heated work areas, including a hot plate and pre-warming compartments, maintain the tissue and embedding molds at temperatures that prevent premature solidification of the wax, allowing technicians to accurately orient the tissue within the mold.
Rapid Solidification: Once the tissue is correctly oriented and covered with molten paraffin, the mold is transferred to a cooling plate. This plate rapidly solidifies the paraffin block, fixing the tissue in place and creating a stable block suitable for microtomy.
Independent Control: Multiple working areas, such as the paraffin chamber, dispenser, hot plate, and cooling module, are individually controlled to maintain their specific optimal temperatures without interference.
Operating a tissue embedding station effectively involves a series of systematic steps to ensure precise and high-quality tissue block preparation:
Pre-Operation Setup: Ensure the embedding station is clean and all heated zones (paraffin chamber, hot plate, pre-warming compartments) are set to their required temperatures and fully heated. The cooling plate should be activated and at its optimal temperature.Ā Ā
Dispensing Paraffin: Place an embedding mold onto the heated work area or hot plate. Activate the wax dispenser, either via the manual lever/button or foot pedal, to fill the mold with a small amount of molten paraffin.Ā
Tissue Orientation: Carefully transfer the processed tissue specimen from its cassette into the molten paraffin in the mold. Use pre-warmed forceps to precisely orient the tissue within the wax, ensuring it lies flat and in the correct plane for sectioning.Ā
Cassette Placement: Place the tissue cassette on top of the mold, creating the base of the paraffin block. Add more molten paraffin to completely fill the mold and cover the cassette, ensuring no air bubbles are trapped.Ā
Rapid Cooling: Once the block is formed, transfer the mold quickly to the cooling plate. The rapid cooling solidifies the paraffin, securing the tissue within a stable block ready for microtomy.Ā
Block Removal & Storage: Once fully solidified, remove the paraffin block from the mold. The block is now ready for storage or immediate sectioning.
Cleanup: After embedding, regularly clean the work surfaces and waste trays to maintain hygiene and optimal performance.
Precise Temperature Control: Both RD-98 models feature intelligent control systems that ensure accurate and stable temperature regulation across all heated and cooled zones, crucial for optimal paraffin handling.
Multiple Independent Heating Zones: Equipped with numerous individually controlled heated areas, including the wax chamber, wax tube, heating stage, and preheating compartments, allowing for versatile workflow.
Efficient Wax Dispensing: Offers flexible wax dispensing methods, including both manual levers/buttons and a foot pedal for hands-free operation.
Rapid Block Solidification: The powerful cooling plate ensures quick solidification of paraffin blocks, reducing waiting times and improving lab efficiency.
User-Friendly Interface: Features intuitive touchscreen displays that make operation straightforward and parameter adjustments simple.
Programmable Operation: Includes convenient timing functions to automatically start and stop heating or cooling cycles, optimizing energy use and preparation time.
Robust Construction: Designed with durable materials for longevity and ease of cleaning.
Dedicated Space: These stations require a dedicated area within the laboratory due to their size and specific function.
