Description
Sponges for embedding cassettes are synthetic pads sized for histology and microscopy sample preparation. Each sponge measures 32 mm in length, 26 mm in width and 2,5 mm in height, fitting standard embedding cassettes used to hold tissue during processing and embedding steps. The synthetic material provides a consistent, soft support that helps keep small specimens in place within the cassette during dehydration, clearing and paraffin work. Supplied in packs of 500 pieces with a pack weight of 0,175 kg, they are practical for high-throughput histology suites and teaching laboratories that process many cassettes daily. These sponges belong to the embedding-cassette accessory range and complement moulds and storage systems used in tissue workflow. Their compact dimensions match common cassette interiors, reducing movement of delicate samples. Offered from manufacturer Kartell, the sponges give laboratories a simple consumable for secure specimen retention inside embedding cassettes throughout routine histological preparation.
This article is part of Histology cassettes & moulds, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Sponges for embedding cassettes, synthetic, L 32 x W 26 x H 2,5 mm, 500 unit(s)
What is this article?
Sponges for embedding cassettes, synthetic, L 32 x W 26 x H 2,5 mm, 500 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kartell 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.
