Paraffin trimmer - YR458

The YR458 Paraffin Trimmer is an essential tool for any histology laboratory. This device facilitates the microtomy and sample cutting process by safely and efficiently removing excess paraffin from embedding cassettes. Paraffin is a crucial consumable in laboratories as it is used to impregnate tissues before sectioning them into thin samples. The process involves removing water from the tissue using increasing concentrations of alcohol and rinsing the tissue in an organic solvent like xylene. The tissue is then immersed in paraffin wax for several hours before placing it in a mold to cool and solidify. The YR458 features fully automated computer control, allowing for more precise and reliable operation. It uses a new type of heating element that provides rapid heating, energy efficiency, and high reliability. The temperature sensors, made in the USA, ensure accurate and reliable measurements. Additionally, this trimmer automatically saves the last operational settings and has an automatic memory and restoration function, allowing the preset temperature to be saved after each use. The integrated LED clearly displays the heating status.

Market Price

The YR458 Paraffin Trimmer has a competitive market price, generally ranging between $500 and $1,000 USD depending on the distributor and additional configurations selected. This price reflects the advanced technology and durability of the device, offering excellent value for laboratories looking to optimize their sample preparation processes.
