The unique components of this kit provide a true advantage to the decalcification process. Microwave technology provides notable savings of time and reagent, offsetting decalcification's most significant limitations.The kit includes:
DFR Insert
The DFR Insert is a uniquely designed system for decalcification or formalin fixation within the PELCO BioWave® BioWave® Pro+. The DFR Insert allows for complete circulation of fixative or EDTA decalcification solution to all specimens while providing consistent exposure to controlled microwave energy. A port in the lid provides access for the temperature probe for temperature monitoring. The DFR Insert system is used in conjunction with the PELCO SteadyTemp™ Pro Digital Chiller.
Microwave Tissue Jars
The Microwave Tissue Jars are an economical alternative for EDTA decalcification. The jars allow for less reagent use while maintaining temperature regulation with circulating water through the DFR Insert. The jars are equipped with a port for the temperature probe for temperature monitoring. The Microwave Tissue Jars work within the DFR Insert system utilising the PELCO SteadyTemp™ Pro Digital Chiller.
PELCO SteadyTemp™ Pro Digital Chiller
The PECLO SteadyTemp™ Pro Digital Chiller provides precise, fully automatic temperature control for both decalcification and fixation applications within the PELCO BioWave® BioWave® Pro+ microwave systems. The specially designed PELCO SteadyTemp™ Pro connects directly to the microwave and is monitored and controlled from the PELCO BioWave® Pro and BioWave® Pro+ touchscreens.
