Biosigma embedding cassettes are resistant to decalcifying agents, histological solutions, acids, alkalis and solvents commonly used in pathology laboratories.
Standard histology cassettes feature a removable lid and an innovative closure system designed to reduce accidental opening and consequent specimen loss during processing. An inward-facing front hook helps retain the lid, while special ribs secure the rear hooks in their slots. The smooth-edged tab facilitates opening by the operator.
Pre-stacked histology cassettes are supplied in rows of 40 held together by an easy-to-remove tape, simplifying insertion into the printer magazine. The cassette bodies and lids are supplied separately, and the available colours support efficient specimen classification.

Product Information
Innovative closing system A Biosigma innovative closing system to avoid the cassette’s accidental opening during sample processing but of easy use anyway.Picture 1: A hook closure insertion in the cassette front part avoids any accidental opening in case of voluminous sample. Picture 2: The presence of a special ribbed lid fitted with 2 rear hooks (Picture 3) prevents the forward movement and the cassette’s rear opening. Picture 4: The opening tab does not present sharp edges and is structured to allow operator easy opening. Anterior writing area at 45°angle.
