1. INTENDED USE
The paraffin wax embedding center type MPS P I and MPS P II are intended for embedding
histological tissue specimens in molten paraffin (wax) for use in pathology laboratories.
The modular system MPS P II consists of the paraffin dispensing element MPS P, the
preheating station MPS W and the cooling plate MPS C. All systems can easily be
upgraded with additional preheating stations or cooling plates.
MPS P consists of a heated paraffin container (capacity 5.5 liters; 30 – 80 °C), a heated
working area (450 x 240 mm; 30 – 80 °C) and a cooling spot (50 x 50 mm, down to
-5 °C). Optionally heated forceps for orientation of the specimen during embedding are
available.
MPS P I consists of a heated paraffin container (capacity 3.8 liters; 30 – 80 °C), a heated
working area (450 x 240 mm; 30 – 80 °C), two heated cassette and mould storage
containers (30 – 80 °C) for 120 cassettes and 250 embedding molds and a cooled working
area. Optionally heated forceps for orientation of the specimen during embedding are
available.
MPS W is a preheating station (30 – 80 °C) with heated areas and containers for storage
and preparation of approx. 500 moulds and embedding 320 cassettes.
MPS C is a cooling plate with a comfortable working area of 370 x 270 mm (capacity of
approx. 80 cassettes) made of anodized aluminum. The system easily cools down to
-15 °C

.
MPS CX is a cooling plate with a huge comfortable working area of 570 x 270 mm
(capacity of approx. 120 cassettes) made of anodized aluminum. The system easily cools
down to -15 °C
