The embedding rings are an alternative to a tissue cassette to securely hold the tissue sample for sectioning. They are made of high impact polystyrene. The ring fits well in microtome chuck adapters. Embedding rings are not used in processing.

Cassettes are designed to contain incised tissue safely and securely for tissue processing, embedding, and sectioning. The cassettes are made of an acetyl copolymer designed to be solvent resistant during the normal tissue processing protocol. Specimen security can only be provided when Cassettes are used with approved and tested lids. Use of non-approved lids may lead to lid detachment during tissue processing. All cassettes with the exception of the Thinline and Fine Pore Cassette measure (H) 42.5mm, (W) 28.5mm, (D) 6.0mm. They are available in a range of colors. Differing in pore size and shape, there are three types available: Embedding, Biopsy, and Slotted. The choice of pore size is based on tissue type, size, and processing capabilities. The Histoscreen cassette utilizes a nylon mesh filter screen in the place of the typical pore sizes to be utilized for small, friable tissue that might escape the typical pore configurations during tissue processing. The Thinline and Fine Pore Cassettes have intermediate pore sizes between the Histoscreen and the traditional cassettes offering an injection moulded version with smaller pore size. Different coloured cassettes may be used to identify patient or tissue type.

Tissue Marking Dyes are intended as an aid in the orientation, of excised surgical specimens through frozen sectioning, processing, and sectioning, and subsequent microscopic examination of tissues. The marking of multiple margins with these dyes is especially useful for identification in skin biopsies, a technique known as Moh’s surgery. These dyes are normally applied to fresh tissue but may also be used with fixed tissue. Whether fresh or fixed, the tissue should be blotted to remove excess fluid from the surface before applying the dye. Tissue Marking Dyes will permanently bond to the tissue 1 to 2 minutes after application. The tissue can then be frozen and prepared for sectioning or placed in formalin or other fixatives and processed for paraffin embedding.

Hematoxylin 7212 is a darker and more color intensive version of Hematoxylin 7211. It contains most of the attributes and features of the Hematoxylin 7211 stain; however, Hematoxylin 7212 does have a slight affinity for mucin staining.

The Paraffin line is specially designed for tissue processing and embedding of histological and cytological specimens. The product is a white solid at room temperature and a clear, liquid when molten. The paraffin can be used with both open and closed tissue processors. It is also compatible with all embedding centers and manual embedding techniques. Paraffin is used in tissue processing during the infiltration steps. Melting points and polymer content differ between formulations. Choosing which type of paraffin may depend on the tissue density or personal preference of the histotechnician. Softer kinds of paraffin with less polymer tend to infiltrate tissue slightly quicker during processing but yield a softer block during embedding. Softer kinds of paraffin better lend themselves to thicker sections during microtomy. Harder kinds of paraffin with a higher polymer content usually take a little more time to infiltrate the tissue during processing but yield harder blocks that allow thinner sectioning during microtomy. Harder tissue specimens are better supported with a harder paraffin block.

Alcian Blue reacts to compounds containing anionic groups such as acid mucosubstances and acid mucins. At pH 2.5, both carboxylated and sulfated acid mucosubstances are stained blue. Periodic acid is used to oxidize the tissue to form aldehyde groups that are demonstrated by Schiff Reagent. Glycogen and neutral mucosubstances as well as basement membranes will be stained magenta by Schiff Reagent, followed by a tap water rinse to develop and intensify its magenta hues. An optional counterstain may be used to provide nuclear detail. Hematoxylin 7211 is recommended; however, Kernechtrot Nuclear Fast Red may be used if a red nuclear stain is desired

Modified Grocott’s Methenamine Silver Stain Kit (Chromic Acid) is intended for use as an aid to identify fungal organisms and basement membranes in tissue sections for the diagnosis of general pathology specimens. Fungal cell walls are rich in polysaccharides known as glucans. Treatment with either periodic acid or chromic acid oxidizes these polysaccharides to form aldehyde groups; however, chromic acid is the stronger oxidizer. Chromic acid will achieve a greater degree of oxidation, rendering some chemical groups non-reactive with silver so that they are not demonstrated within the final stain. This greater level of oxidation also results in reduced background staining of basement membranes and collagen fibers, as well as more effective demonstration of Pneumocystis jiroveci (formerly classified as Pneumocystis carinii) and Histoplasma capsulatum (the causative organism of Histoplasmosis). After oxidation, Sodium Metabisulfite Solution removes residual Chromic Acid Solution from the tissue. The aldehyde groups react with the silver ions present in the Working Methenamine Silver Solution and reduce them to form visible metallic silver. Gold Chloride Solution tones the sections and intensifies the reduced silver by forming a silver-gold complex. Sodium Thiosulfate Solution removes any unreduced silver from the tissue sections, followed by Fast Green Stain Solution which produces a light green background to further enhance contrast.

Potassium Permanganate Solution is the oxidizing agent in this technique. It is followed by an Oxalic Acid Solution to remove the excess permanganate. This step serves to enhance the subsequent staining of the reticular fibers. A sensitizing step using Ferric Ammonium Sulfate Solution impregnates the fibers, creating a metal-organic bond that is replaced by silver during subsequent treatment with Working Ammoniacal Silver Solution. To develop the visible silver, a Reducing Solution of dilute formaldehyde is used. The tissue structures that have been impregnated with the silver solution will now appear brown to black. Gold Chloride Solution is used to “tone” the sections, producing better contrast and clarity as the gold reacts and combines with the reduced silver. Unreduced silver is removed via treatment with Sodium Thiosulfate Solution. An optional nuclear fast red counterstain provides background staining as well as nuclear detail.

Modified Steiner-Steiner Silver Stain Kit aids in identifying spirochetes and non-filamentous bacteria in tissue sections for the diagnosis of general pathology specimens. Microorganisms that stain positively with this technique have a cell wall that will adsorb silver from a silver solution (argyrophilic). The silver is first adsorbed in a non-visible form and is subsequently reduced by the Working Reducing Solution (hydroquinone) to a visible metallic silver.

The Fast Flex Tissue Processing System was designed to accommodate a wide range of tissue processing demands. These reagents, when used together with the STP 420ES or Pathcentre tissue processors, will significantly reduce tissue processing times and produce very high-quality results. The Fast Flex Tissue Processing System provides optimal tissue processing and staining results based on the patented rotational technology in the main chamber of the STP 420ES and the chemically enhanced Fast Flex reagents. The Fast Flex Tissue Processing System also produces excellent tissue and staining results when used with the Pathcentre tissue processor. Tissue/chemical interactions, reactions, and diffusion rates are accelerated, and depending upon tissue thickness, fatty tissue such as breast, bowel, and lymph node process very efficiently within this system. Our experience has additionally shown that bloody tissues also process well, especially when Holding Solution is utilized in the grossing room. Traditional hematoxylin and eosin staining demonstrates well-delineated nuclear chromatin, as well as superb cytoplasmic contrast.

The Fast Flex Tissue Processing System was designed to accommodate a wide range of tissue processing demands. These reagents, when used together with the STP 420ES or Pathcentre tissue processors, will significantly reduce tissue processing times and produce very high-quality results.
