Leica EG1150 Modular Tissue Embedding System

The Leica EG1150 modular tissue embedding center incorporates two separate components, the Leica EG1150 C cold plate and the Leica EG1150 H heated paraffin dispensing module. The independent modules offer the flexibility to arrange embedding workflow in either direction (left to right or right to left) to suit the user's needs.

For orienting specimens from biopsies and other, especially very small specimens, an adjustable magnifier is available as an option.
