HistoStar™ Embedding Workstation: Performance and Ergonomics for a Streamlined Workflow
The HistoStar™ Embedding Workstation by Thermo Fisher Scientific meets the demands of modern laboratories by delivering comfort, precision, and reliability. Engineered to optimize every step of the paraffin embedding process, it offers a clear, ergonomic, and modular workspace that ensures high productivity even in high-throughput environments.
One of the system’s key features is its integrated LED lighting: five intensity levels provide uniform illumination of the workspace and accessories, eliminating the need for external lamps. This visual comfort reduces eye strain and helps maintain optimal focus during delicate sample handling.
The heated work surface, combined with cool, molded armrests, offers a pleasant contact temperature while eliminating pressure points. A 5-liter paraffin reservoir and a cooling plate accommodating up to 72 molds ensure uninterrupted operation, ideal for high-volume laboratories.
The HistoStar™ adapts to all cassette formats, including larger sizes, thanks to its adjustable paraffin dispensing paddle. This flexibility simplifies operations regardless of the sample type.
Another standout feature is the integrated ParaTrimmer®, which removes excess paraffin directly at the station, eliminating the need for a separate trimming device. This saves both time and space, streamlining the workflow and reducing wax debris around microtomes.
The large, user-friendly touchscreen interface enables easy temperature adjustments and includes a programmable sleep mode to help manage energy consumption.
With a robust design that minimizes moving parts, the HistoStar™ reduces maintenance requirements while ensuring long-term durability. Built for reliability, it allows users to focus on what truly matters: delivering high-quality histological results.
