EasyCUT, Static remover for microtome
Remove static charges from any paraffin block processed
During paraffin block cutting, electrostatic charges may often occur. These charges make the ribboning difficult, as the sections stick to the paraffin block itself, to forceps and to user’s fingers. The transfer to water bath is almost impossible and this cause a delay in the procedure and sections ribbon may break up.
This is related to both paraffin components, pads embedded along with tissues and to laboratory air dryness, related to A\C laboratory as like as to season’s change.
EasyCUT neutralizes these electrostatic charges and thus it helps technicians in obtaining a perfect, non-sticky, wrinkle-free ribbon, without chattering effect and easy to transfer to the water bath.
