TES VALIDA
Modular Paraffin Embedding Center
The Paraffin Embedding Center TES Valida features innovative technology and appears in a modern design. It consists of three different units – cooling, dispensing and thermal – that can be arranged according to personal needs, e.g. for left handed operation. Each unit works independently with timer and temperature control and is set via touch control units. This also enables the units to be used as individual devices in the laboratory. The thermal unit of the TES Valida has a spacious preheating chamber for embedding molds in its upper area. In the lower area of the work surface is a cassette depot made of stainless steel with a removable tray. It is deep enough to accommodate embedding cassettes and almost any type of processing baskets. A stainless steel cover that can be opened and closed ensures that the temperature of the cassette depot remains constant even during long periods of operation.
The dispenser unit has a large paraffin tank with a volume of 4.6 liters. The dispensing process can be initiated either by hand or by foot switch via the outlet tap. Blocks that already solidified can be placed onto the flat heated outlet tap to melt them again. Optionally, the tap can be equipped with heat protection. For perfect illumination of the work area, the TES Valida dispenser unit comes with an adjustable lamp. Optionally, a magnifying glass can be added to the lamp. A total of four connections (two on the front and two on the rear) for heated forceps and six forceps slots are available.
With its unique heat dissipation, known as Heat Pipe Technology, the large, square cooling point with surrounding condensation protection achieves higher performance, stability and longevity. There is also an
easy-to-clean drawer underneath the dispenser unit that collects excess paraffin.
The cooling unit has a generous stainless steel surface. Up to 100 paraffin blocks can be stored on it at the same time at a maximum cooling temperature of -15 °C. The underlying refrigeration technology ensures long-lasting temperature stability.
Together, the three units of the TES Valida make for a high-performance system with a modern look. The work surfaces are ergonomically designed with a view to user-friendliness in order to prevent signs of fatigue after long use. The housing is made of powder-coated metal and can be cleaned easily.
