Pathology equipment
Pathology equipment prepares and processes tissue samples so they can be cut, stained and examined under a microscope. Hospital histopathology departments, cancer centres and reference laboratories use it to support diagnosis.
Common types
- Tissue processor: fixes, dehydrates and infiltrates tissue with paraffin.
- Embedding centre: places processed tissue into paraffin blocks.
- Rotary microtome: cuts thin sections from paraffin blocks.
- Cryostat: cuts frozen sections, often for rapid diagnosis during surgery.
- Slide stainer and coverslipper: automate staining and mounting of slides.
What to tell us when you ask for a quotation
- Equipment type and expected daily block or slide volume
- Section thickness range and blade system for microtomes
- Cassette or slide capacity per run
- Reagent handling, fume extraction and filters
- Temperature range for cryostats and embedding units
- Power supply and plug type
- Quantity, destination country and the delivery terms you want (for example EXW, FOB or CIF).
Documents to ask for
Buyers usually ask for CE marking under the EU IVDR or the destination country registration where applicable, ISO 13485 for the maker and IEC 61010-1 test reports.
Certificates and registrations belong to the product and its manufacturer. We check them with you against the rules of your market before any order.
Why is fume control important in a tissue processor?
Tissue processing uses formalin, xylene and alcohols, which release harmful vapours. Closed processors with carbon filters or external extraction reduce staff exposure.
