Grossing and Embedding
Base Molds & Tampers

HistoPress Tissue Tampers
The HistoPress is a unique tool for flattening tissue sections in an embedding mold with ease! The design allows for the shaft to remain cool and the unique base to stay hot. Comes in four different sizes to accommodate small, medium and large embedding molds.

Base Molds, Stainless Steel
Reusable stainless steel base molds with extended sides to prevent tipping and provide a gripping surface for better handling. Stainless steel base molds are for use with embedding cassettes.

Biopsy Sponge Pads & Wraps

Biopsy Sponge Pads for Cassettes
These pads are used to hold biopsies in place and prevent them from being lost during processing. They are made of a specially formulated foam which is always verified for consistency throughout to achieve optimum solvent flow. This pad will fit the majority of tissue cassettes for this purpose.

Biopsy Sponge Pads for SLIMSETTE Cassettes
These pads are designed thinner than the general biopsy sponge pad to fit the Slimsette cassette's smaller interior chamber. These pads are used to hold biopsies in place and prevent them from being lost during processing. They are made of a specially formulated foam which is always verified for consistency throughout to achieve optimum solvent flow.

Biopsy Wraps, Biosavers 2" x 3"
BioSavers™ are a quality lens paper biopsy wrap.
- Allow optimal infiltration while helping to prevent loss of specimen
- Available in white & pink
- Colors of BioSavers™ sharply contrast to biopsies stained with IPC Blue™ allowing better visualization during embedding & cutting
- Packaged 1000 - 2" x 3" sheets/box
- SAMPLES AVAILABLE!
CLICK HERE for information on IPC Blue™
BioSavers™ Instructions for use:
- The tissue should be placed in the middle of the wrap with plenty of space around all sides
- Fold the BioWrap in thirds with a slight (about 1/8”) lip of wrap over one edge. (This makes it much easier for the person embedding to open)
- Then fold the remaining ends over to make a closed “envelope” to allow it to fit comfortably in the cassette
