Description
The HistoCore Arcadia tissue embedding system, a valuable tool for ASU research, consists of two main components: the Arcadia H heated embedding workstation and the Arcadia C cold plate. The Arcadia H workstation ensures easy operation and precise control, enhancing workflow efficiency, reliability, and the speed of the embedding process. Meanwhile, the Arcadia C cold plate, capable of holding up to 65 cassettes, features a large working surface and is designed with an advanced control module. This module adapts to the environment to maintain a stable operating temperature of -6°C, ensuring effective cooling. Overall, this system contributes to ASU research by providing consistent, reproducible results and improving the speed and reliability of the tissue embedding process.
