Slimsette™ Tissue and Biopsy Cassettes
made of acetal resin polymer
The Slimsette™ Cassettes, a new generation in the Simport Tissue and Biopsy Cassette family. These cassettes are more compact and efficient than previous cassettes. They feature a unique recessed cover allowing more cassettes to be stacked in automated cassette labeling machines and increasing the number of cassettes that may be stored in storage cabinets.
Slimsette™ Cassettes are molded from high density acetal resin polymer allowing them to sink rapidly. Acetyl resin polymer is compatible for use with histological reagents and solvents. The covers may be opened and closed repeatedly and always relock securely without specimen loss. The front labeling area has a 45° angle.
