Embedding machine hot plate
A device used in biochemistry and histology experiments to heat tissue or other materials to a sufficiently high temperature for sectioning or other processing. The working principle of the hot stage is based on placing the material in a sealed container filled with a liquid that is heated to the required temperature.
The hot plate of the embedding machine usually consists of the following parts:
1. Body: The body is a metal box filled with fluid that is used to heat and cool tissue.
2. Heating system: The liquid in the hot plate is heated to the required temperature by means of electric heating elements or water bath.
3. Cooling system: When the tissue is heated to the required temperature, the liquid in the hot stage cools the tissue for sectioning or other processing.
4. Sample holder: A sample holder is a metal holder used to place tissue or other samples. The height and rotation angle of the sample holder can be adjusted to facilitate various experimental operations on the hot stage.
5. Control system: The control system is responsible for controlling the heating and cooling process of the hot stage, as well as the position and rotation angle of the sample holder.
The main advantage of the hot stage of the embedding machine is that it can accurately control the temperature of the sample to ensure the thermal stability of the sample. In addition, the hot stage can also perform experimental operations at a variety of temperatures, such as insulation, constant temperature, temperature gradient, etc. Hot stages are usually equipped with a variety of accessories, such as stands, pipettes, magnetic stirrers, etc., which can facilitate various experimental operations.
