Arcadia H Paraffin Embedding Station

• Type: Paraffin embedding station
• Application: Embedding tissue samples in paraffin for histological sectioning

The Arcadia H station is designed to improve laboratory workflows, offering precise temperature control (50°C – 75°C) and optimized workspace organization. It accommodates large volumes of samples, making it suitable for high-throughput labs.

Key Features:

• Temperature Control: Adjustable settings for consistent paraffin embedding.
• Visibility: Integrated LED lighting and magnifier for precise manipulation of samples.
• Capacity: Can process up to 150 cassettes with a 4-liter paraffin reservoir.

Arcadia C Cold Plate

• Type: Cooling plate for paraffin-embedded samples
• Application: Rapid cooling of embedded tissue samples to prepare them for sectioning

The HistoCore Arcadia C Cold Plate provides consistent cooling down to -6°C. Its large surface area supports high-throughput applications while maintaining even temperature distribution.

Key Features:

• Efficient Cooling: Stable temperature control for consistent solidification of paraffin blocks.
• Capacity: Supports up to 65 cassettes simultaneously.
• Maintenance: Non-stick surface simplifies cleaning and minimizes residue buildup.

AUTOCUT Rotary Microtome

• Type: Fully motorized rotary microtome with CoolClamp
• Application: High-precision sectioning of paraffin-embedded tissue samples for histological analysis

The Leica HistoCore AUTOCUT enables consistent and precise tissue sectioning with fully automated, semi-automated, and manual modes. Integrated safety features, such as an electronic braking system and a force balance mechanism, ensure stable operation across a range of tissue block sizes. With the CoolClamp your specimen will stay at the desired temperature during cutting, making time-consuming specimen re-cooling unnecessary.

Key Features:

• Versatility: Fully automated, semi-automated, or manual operation modes.
• Safety: Integrated automatic braking system and antistatic waste tray to minimize hazards.
• Design: Ergonomic layout for user comfort and efficiency during extended use.

Specifications:

• Section Thickness Range: 0.5 – 100 µm
• Trimming Thickness Range: 1 – 600 µm

Specimen temperature: 0°C to room temperature
