Soft tamping device for casting paraffin blocks
LUMEA BxSOFTt HOT™ tampers and handles are available for all currently-used embedding molds. Their size is easy to identify by their unique colors: size "XS" is Yellow, "S" is Green, "M" is Red, "L" is Fuchsia, and "XL" is Blue.
KEY BENEFITS
LUMEA BxSOFTt HOT™ tamper is made from a silicone elastomer composite with improved thermal transfer and high latent heat
The handle is detachable and self-centering on the soft tamper (via permanent magnets)
The soft tamper is intended for flattening, aligning in the same plane, and maintaining the position of the paraffinated tissue samples when cooling the paraffin blocks on the embedding station. The tamper removes the need to apply great force and reduces the risk of breaking fragile biological specimens
BxSOFTt HOT™ vs. Metal embedding tamper
Using BxSOFTt HOT™ one can achieve perfect alignment of multiple tissue samples, even when their thickness vary widely
