Used SAKURA DRS2000 (Tissue-tek) #112445 for sale

SAKURA DRS2000 (Tissue-tek) is a laboratory equipment and accessory that assists in the processing of specimens for histological and other biological specimens. Designed for both educational and research settings, SAKURA DRS2000 is meant to speed up the process of specimen preparation for lab activities. SAKURA DRS2000 is comprised of three major components: a reagent bath, a rotary microtome, and a tissue holder. The reagent bath is an enclosed environment that allows the user to efficiently process tissues before slicing them with the rotary microtome. Such reagents can include anything from 10% formalin in water to ethanol and other specimen preservatives. The key feature of the reagent bath is its temperature control mechanism that allows the user to precisely set the temperature to their desired levels. The rotary microtome is a specialized tool used to section off fine, thin slices of plastic tissue embedded in paraffin wax. The tool is composed of a circular blade that is submerged in a fluid container, allowing for smooth and accurate slicing. SAKURA DRS2000's rotary microtome is capable of producing slices of up to 30 microns in thickness and is also fitted with a safety mechanism that prevents the user from ever coming into contact with the sharp blades. The last main element of SAKURA DRS2000 is the tissue holder. This device fits onto the rotary microtome and consists of several segments of plastic holders that can hold multiple samples of tissue. The design of the tissue holder is engineered for quick and easy placement and removal of samples, reducing the amount of time wasted during the specimen processing procedure. Overall, SAKURA DRS2000 offers tremendous support in the area of specimen preparation. Its temperature regulated reagent bath provides an ideal environment to preserve and properly prepare specimens. Its rotary microtome offers both safety and accuracy while slicing off thin slices of samples. And finally, its tissue holder leads to greater efficiency when it comes to sample loading. For these reasons, it is no surprise SAKURA DRS2000 is a popular choice among educational and research facilities that require speedy and reliable specimen processing.
