Description
Universal embedding cassettes, beige, are histology consumables moulded from high-quality technical plastic (POM). Each unit features a 1 × 5 mm perforation pattern that supports efficient fluid exchange during fixation, dehydration and paraffin infiltration. Base and lid are joined by an integral hinge and are supplied fully assembled, ready for immediate use in routine tissue-processing workflows. Designed for applications covered by EU Regulation 2017/746 on in-vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR), the cassettes carry the CE mark and a batch number to provide clear identification and full traceability. The beige colour coding helps laboratories organise specimens by case type or staining protocol. Supplied by manufacturer Marienfeld, the cassettes are packed 500 pieces per carton and 6,000 pieces per outer carton. For larger offtake, bases and lids can also be delivered separately so that they need not be opened before printing. The robust POM construction withstands common processing solvents while the hinged closure keeps tissue securely enclosed from grossing through embedding.
This article belongs on Histology cassettes & moulds, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Embedding cassettes Universal, beige,
What is this article?
Embedding cassettes Universal, beige, is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Marienfeld for laboratory use. It sits in Histology cassettes & moulds, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A histology cassette holds a tissue through processing, and a mould forms the paraffin block. The cassette's holes have to let solvents through and still keep the specimen. A fine biopsy and a large organ are different cassettes.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
