HEATED FORCEPS - POWER SUPPLY FOR CONTROL UNIT

Part Number - GZB-0300-00A

Heated Forceps (Power Supply for Control Unit Only) CellCeps are electrically heated forceps designed to assist in the preparation of histological slides.
Orientation of a specimen during wax embedding has traditionally been completed using stainless steel forceps.
To prevent their cold tips from solidifying the liquid wax medium, it is necessary to repeatedly remove the forceps from the work and heat them by external means - in a flame or embedding centre.
Insufficient heating results in sticking, while excessive temperatures will damage the specimen.
CellCeps incorporate safe, low-voltage, energy controlled heating elements which constantly maintain their tips at the optimum temperature for manipulation of specimens in histological wax.
They may be used continuously, without adjustment, and without influencing the temperature of the medium or tissue.
Eliminating the task of keeping the forceps at a usable temperature enables the operator to concentrate on orientation of the tissue, and results in a significant increase in productivity.
The unit allows 2 pairs of forceps to be used simultaneously.

• Easier handling of tissue during embedding
• No sticking of forceps to the tissue
• Speeds embedding
• Safe to use
• Will not damage the tissue
• Supplied complete with 2 sets of forceps
• Forceps available in 3 sizes
• 1mm, 2mm and 4mm * Please note: The removable forceps (heating elements) should be viewed as consumables item and have a working life of approximately 9 months depending on usage.
