Tissue Cassettes

<h2 data-section-id="12g32xm" data-start="194" data-end="223">What Are Tissue Cassettes?</h2>
&nbsp;
Tissue cassettes are rectangular acetal polymer (POM) containers used in surgical pathology and research histology to carry gross tissue specimens&mdash;including resections, excisions, and large biopsy cores&mdash;from the grossing table through the complete paraffin processing workflow. Wide-slot perforations (approximately 1.5 mm) allow rapid reagent penetration and drainage during automated tissue processor cycles while preventing specimen loss for samples measuring 3 mm or larger in their smallest dimension. Following processing, the cassette base fits directly into a metal or disposable plastic base mold for paraffin embedding, and the completed paraffin block is archived with the cassette serving as the primary specimen identifier.
Standard tissue cassettes handle the majority of surgical pathology specimens; use biopsy cassettes for specimens smaller than approximately 3 mm.

<h2 data-section-id="1jtb3u7" data-start="1122" data-end="1155">How to Choose Tissue Cassettes</h2>
&nbsp;
Writing Area Angle: 30&deg; vs. 35&deg;
Globe Scientific tissue cassettes are available with 30&deg; and 35&deg; angled writing surfaces to match Leica and Sakura cassette printer platen angles. Selecting the incorrect angle can create printing alignment issues and slow workflow efficiency. Laboratories should verify printer specifications before ordering case quantities.
Integral Lid vs. Separate Lid
Integral hinged-lid tissue cassettes snap closed without requiring a separate steel lid, reducing handling steps in high-volume grossing environments. Separate-lid cassettes are compatible with standard metal base molds and are often preferred in embedding stations where lids must be removed independently. Both formats are compatible with standard tissue processor baskets.
Color Coding
Globe Scientific offers tissue cassettes in more than ten standard colors. Many laboratories assign colors by specimen type or department to improve organization and reduce the risk of specimen identification errors during high-volume processing.
Pack Format: Standard Box vs. QuickLoad Sleeves
Standard 500-count dispenser boxes meet the needs of most laboratories. QuickLoad&reg; and E-Z Load&reg; sleeve formats provide pre-counted cassette stacks for rapid one-handed dispensing and are particularly useful in grossing stations processing more than 300 specimens per day.
Compatibility with Tissue Processors
The standard 40 &times; 28 &times; 6 mm cassette footprint is compatible with Leica ASP, Sakura VIP, Thermo Shandon Excelsior, and most other automated tissue processors without modification. Compatibility should be verified when ordering Mega or deep-body cassette variants.

<h2 data-section-id="1jl751w" data-start="4610" data-end="4635">Specifications Context</h2>
&nbsp;
Acetal polymer cassettes are dimensionally stable from 4&deg;C refrigerated storage through approximately 65&deg;C during paraffin infiltration. Globe Scientific maintains ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, and lot-specific conformance documentation is available upon request. The standard 40 &times; 28 &times; 6 mm footprint is widely accepted by major tissue processor manufacturers and does not require instrument-specific modification. Tissue cassettes are research-use consumables and are not classified as medical devices or in vitro diagnostic (IVD) products.
