Rear-Hinged Slotted Tissue Cassette

POM Histology Cassette with 5.0 × 1.0 mm Slots

Rear-Hinged Slotted Tissue Embedding Cassette is designed for routine tissue processing, embedding and specimen identification in histology and pathology laboratories. Its distinctive rear-hinged structure allows convenient assembly and disassembly while maintaining reliable specimen containment during repeated handling.

The cassette features 5.0 × 1.0 mm slotted openings, providing effective pathways for processing reagents to circulate around tissue specimens during dehydration, clearing and embedding workflows.

Manufactured from durable P.O.M material, the cassette is resistant to corrosion from various chemical solvents commonly encountered during tissue processing and embedding.

A 45° angled writing surface on the front provides a clear area for specimen identification and is suitable for most inkjet, thermal transfer and laser automatic cassette printing systems.

Chuangxin Medlab supplies Rear-Hinged Slotted Tissue Embedding Cassettes for pathology laboratories, histology laboratories, hospitals, research institutions and laboratory distributors worldwide.

What Is a Rear-Hinged Tissue Embedding Cassette?

A Rear-Hinged Tissue Embedding Cassette is a histology cassette designed with the hinge positioned at the rear of the cassette body.

The hinged structure allows the cassette components to be conveniently opened, assembled and disassembled during specimen preparation and processing.

This design is particularly useful for laboratories that value convenient handling while maintaining secure containment of tissue specimens throughout routine histology workflows.

Advantages of the Rear-Hinged Design

The rear-hinged structure is one of the main differences between this model and conventional one-piece or separate-lid cassettes.

Its design provides:

• Convenient opening and closing

• Easy assembly and disassembly

• Stable connection during routine handling

• Reliable specimen containment

• Convenient operation in high-volume workflows

The cassette is designed to continue performing reliably after multiple assembly operations without easily losing contained specimens.

5.0 × 1.0 mm Slotted Openings

The cassette uses 5.0 × 1.0 mm long slots instead of round or fine square holes.

These elongated openings provide sufficient open area for tissue-processing reagents to circulate through the cassette and reach the specimen.

The slotted design is suitable for routine tissue samples and supports common processing steps including:

• Fixation workflow

• Dehydration

• Clearing

• Tissue processing

• Paraffin embedding

For very small biopsy specimens, a fine-pore biopsy cassette with smaller openings is generally more appropriate.

P.O.M Material for Histology Workflows

The cassette is manufactured from P.O.M material, selected for its durability and resistance to various chemical solvents encountered during tissue processing and embedding.

This material helps the cassette maintain its shape and functional structure throughout routine laboratory handling and processing.

45° Writing Surface for Specimen Identification

The front of the cassette incorporates a 45° angled writing surface for sample identification.

The surface is suitable for most:

• Inkjet cassette printers

• Thermal transfer printers

• Laser automatic printing systems

This allows laboratories to add specimen numbers, patient or sample codes, barcodes and other identification information according to their labeling workflow.

Applications

Rear-Hinged Slotted Tissue Embedding Cassettes are suitable for:

• Routine tissue processing

• Histology laboratories

• Pathology laboratories

• Tissue embedding

• Hospital laboratories

• Medical research

• Veterinary pathology

• Research institutions

• University laboratories

• High-volume histology workflows

Rear-Hinged vs. One-Piece Tissue Cassette

A Rear-Hinged Tissue Cassette is designed for convenient assembly and disassembly using a hinged connection.

A One-Piece Tissue Embedding Cassette uses an integrated snap-apart structure.

Both designs can be used for routine histology processing, but laboratories may select between them according to preferred handling method, workflow and cassette-loading requirements.

Slotted Cassette vs. Fine-Pore Biopsy Cassette

A 5.0 × 1.0 mm Slotted Tissue Cassette is designed for routine tissue specimens and provides relatively open pathways for reagent circulation.

A Fine-Pore Biopsy Cassette uses smaller openings to improve retention of small biopsy specimens.

The correct cassette should therefore be selected according to specimen size and tissue-processing requirements.
