IMAGINE... CONSISTENCY IN GROSSING AND PROCESSING!Accu-Edge® Grossing Tools System

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document introduces the Accu-Edge® Grossing Tools System, designed to enhance consistency and standardization in tissue grossing and processing. It highlights the benefits of using these tools for achieving uniform tissue samples, which are crucial for optimal processing results.

Accu-Edge® Grossing Tools:

Grossing Board: A working surface with adjustable wells (1.5 mm to 3.0 mm) for standardizing tissue thickness and size. It can be used independently or on existing grossing benches.
Grossing Forks: Designed for tissues not suitable for the Grossing Board, available in three thickness sizes (1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm). They hold tissue in place for precise sectioning.

Product Specifications:

Accu-Edge® Grossing Board and Forks are sold individually, with specific item numbers for each product.
Additional tools include Tissue-Tek® Neutra-Pads™, Trimming Knife Handle, and Dissecting Scalpel Handle.

Procedure:

For the Grossing Board: Calibrate the well, position the tissue, place the tamper, and gross at the desired thickness.
For the Grossing Forks: Hold the tissue and slide the blade for the desired thickness.

Tissue-Tek® Automation Systems:

Xpress™ Continuous Rapid Tissue Processor: Processes up to 120 blocks per hour in just one hour, using a formalin and xylene-free method with continuous loading every 15 minutes.
AutoTEC™ Automated Embedder: Fully automates embedding, compatible with the Paraform® Sectionable Cassette System, maintaining a constant workflow.
Paraform® Sectionable Cassette System: Ensures fixed orientation post-grossing, with cutting properties similar to paraffin wax, eliminating the need to open cassettes during embedding.

Benefits: The integration of these systems results in significant time savings, up to 50%, for histopathology laboratories, enhancing efficiency and workflow.

CONSISTENCY IN GROSSING AND PROC ESSING The NEW Accu-Edge® Grossing Tools System… is designed to consistently and easily obtain tissue samples of a controlled and uniform thickness. This method of standardised grossing enables consistent quality in tissue processing. Accu-Edge® Grossing Forks While the Accu-Edge® Grossing Board greatly facilitates sampling of solid organs and tumours, some types of tissue are not amenable for its use. Therefore, Sakura developed the Accu-Edge® Grossing Forks. Accu-Edge® Grossing Board The Accu-Edge® Grossing Board is a working surface with easy-adjustable wells...
