Triangle Biomedical SM-PCTS-L Process and Embedding Cassette – Lilac, Slotted The Triangle Biomedical SM-PCTS-L is a high-quality process and embedding cassette designed for the secure containment and identification of tissue specimens throughout the histology workflow. Manufactured from a specialized, high-density acetal polymer, these cassettes are completely resistant to the chemical action of histological solvents, including alcohols, xylene, and decalcifying agents. The Lilac color provides a clear visual indicator for sample organization and departmental triage. Featuring a precision-slotted design, the cassette ensures maximum fluid exchange and drainage during processing, preventing reagent carryover and ensuring high-quality paraffin infiltration. The integral writing surface is angled at 45 degrees, providing an optimized platform for manual marking or high-speed automated cassette labeling systems, ensuring permanent sample traceability from the grossing station to the microtome. Technical Performance and Design Solvent-Resistant Acetal Polymer: The high-density construction ensures the cassette remains dimensionally stable and submerged in reagent baths, resisting the corrosive effects of common fixatives and clearing agents. Optimized Fluid Dynamics: Features a systematic slat/slot pattern that facilitates rapid reagent exchange and efficient drainage, which is critical for preventing "mushy" tissue blocks caused by inadequate processing. 45-Degree Identification Surface: The front writing area is specifically angled for compatibility with automated ShurMark and other leading cassette printers, ensuring smudge-free, high-contrast barcodes and text. Secure Locking Mechanism: Designed with a robust one-piece or two-piece closure (depending on specific ShurTrack configuration) that maintains a secure seal throughout the agitation of a tissue processor, eliminating the risk of specimen loss. Product Specifications Catalog Number: SM-PCTS-L Material: Acetal Polymer (High-Density) Color: Lilac Pore Style: Slotted / Slat (Tissue Processing) Print Angle: 45 Degrees Quantity: Typically sold in cases of 800 or 1000 cassettes Key Benefits & Applications Histological Triage: The lilac color allows laboratories to implement color-coded workflows, such as identifying specific doctors, priority cases, or specific tissue types (e.g., skin vs. GI) at a glance. Automation Ready: Fully validated for use with automated embedding centers and high-throughput tissue processors, reducing manual handling and increasing laboratory efficiency. Permanent Traceability: The specialized polymer surface is optimized for thermal-transfer and ink-jet printing, ensuring that patient data remains legible through decades of archival storage. Block Trimming Efficiency: Precision-molded edges ensure a clean fit into embedding molds, reducing the need for manual wax scraping or block trimming before sectioning at the microtome.
