Labzee Paraffin Trimmers are designed to safely and efficiently remove excess paraffin from tissue blocks prior to sectioning. They provide uniform heating across a smooth working surface to soften and trim paraffin without damaging the embedded specimen. These systems feature temperature-adjustable plates, wax collection trays, and heat-resistant casings for reliable operation. Their compact design, quick warm-up, and easy-to-clean structure ensure convenience and safety in routine lab workflows. Our Paraffin Trimmers are ideal for use in histology labs, pathology departments, research institutes, and clinical laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions
1: When is a Paraffin Trimmer used in the tissue processing workflow?
It is used after embedding and before sectioning to remove excess wax from tissue blocks. This ensures a smooth surface and precise trimming during microtomy. Proper trimming improves section quality and consistency.
2: Can any type of paraffin block be used with the trimmer?
Yes, most paraffin blocks fit standard trimmer plates. Adjustable temperatures help accommodate various wax formulations. Use caution with soft or delicate blocks.
3: Can the trimming plate temperature be adjusted?
Yes, most models offer adjustable temperature settings, typically between 50°C and 80°C. This flexibility ensures effective softening without overheating. Digital controls provide precise adjustments.
4: When should wax waste be removed from the collection tray?
Wax should be removed after each trimming session to avoid buildup. Frequent cleaning prevents contamination and keeps the unit running efficiently. Always allow the wax to cool before disposal.
5: Can the unit be left on between multiple uses during the day?
Yes, Paraffin Trimmers are designed for continuous daily use. They maintain a stable temperature throughout operation. Always follow lab safety protocols when unattended.
