Precision-molded cassettes designed for routine tissue processing and pathology laboratory workflows, with configurable formats for customer requirements.
Select a cassette format appropriate for specimen size.
Keep sufficient internal space for reagent exchange during processing.
For small specimens, assess a biopsy pad or bag according to the laboratory workflow to support specimen retention.
Ensure integral, separate or metal lids are fully closed before processing.
Avoid unnecessarily prolonged exposure to strong acids or processing solvents because function or color can be affected.
Do not use metal lids for microwave processing.
Plastic lids are intended for single use; reusable metal lids should be cleaned before reuse.
During embedding, avoid introducing air bubbles into molten paraffin.
Selection Guide
Match the pore pattern to specimen size and leave sufficient internal space for processing-fluid exchange.
Check the writing face and loose, taped or sleeved feed format against the laboratory printer before selecting a cassette.
Confirm integral or separate lids, the writing face, colors and feed packaging for the selected model.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a tissue or biopsy cassette?
Choose the pore pattern and internal space for the specimen size. The GBM catalog covers biopsy cassettes, the GCM catalog covers tissue cassettes, and the RHC catalog covers round-hole designs. Confirm the selected model and lid before ordering.
Are all cassette formats suitable for the same printer?
Printer compatibility depends on cassette geometry, writing-face angle and feed packaging. Provide the printer make and model for a format check. The instructions identify hook-type or separate cassette designs for Thermo Fisher PrintMate; this does not establish compatibility for every cassette.
What information is needed for an OEM or private-label quotation?
Specify the cassette model, tissue or biopsy use, lid style, colors, loose or stacked packaging, label requirements and expected quantity. Final packaging and printer suitability are confirmed for the selected configuration.
How should I select a cassette with 0.25 mm micro-pores?
Micro-pore designs can be considered for small biopsy specimens. Provide the specimen size, processing workflow and lid requirements to confirm the model’s pore size, internal space and specimen-retention method.
