Biopsy Embedding Cassettes with Attached Lid, 30° & 35° Writing Area — 9 Colors, 1000/Unit
The Globe Scientific Biopsy Embedding Cassettes deliver reliable tissue containment for histology labs running high-throughput specimen processing, paraffin embedding, and microtomy workflows. An attached lid eliminates separate handling, while the angled writing area accepts both pencil and solvent-resistant ink for legible accessioning. Color coding across nine options streamlines case tracking and reduces specimen mix-ups at the grossing bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 1095 (35°) and 1091 (30°) cassettes?
Both share the attached-lid biopsy embedding design. The 1095 series features a 35° writing area, while the 1091 series uses a 30° angle and is priced lower per unit; choose based on your labeling preference and printer or marker angle.
How many cassettes are in one unit?
Each unit contains 1000 cassettes packaged as 2 dispenser boxes of 500. Prices listed are per unit. The dispenser boxes feed cassettes one at a time at the grossing station.
Are these cassettes compatible with automated tissue processors?
Yes. The histology-grade polymer construction withstands standard processing reagents including alcohols, xylene, and molten paraffin, making them suitable for routine automated and manual processing.
Can the writing area accept printed labels and ink?
The angled writing surface accepts pencil and solvent-resistant ink, and is compatible with most cassette printers. Markings remain legible through processing and archival storage.
