Features

The foam pads are ready to use. They resist temperatures from -40°C to 121°C, and are autoclavable. The foam is soft and flexible with fine pores. It is cut to a size which is compatible with most tissue cassettes used in histopathology laboratories.

Tissue biopsy specimens can be placed between two foam pads and positioned in tissue cassettes with metal or plastic lids. The thin nature of Trajan biopsy pads reduce pressure on unfixed specimen with minimal risk of tissue adhering to pads during the embedding process.

To avoid artifacts, it is recommended, biopsy pads should be moistened with fixative before use.
