The Master Science Tissue Embedding Center combines a 3 L paraffin embedding module with a separate cryo module for chilling finished blocks. It is the compact option in the range, suited to laboratories with routine embedding workloads.
Five heated areas, the paraffin chamber, dispenser, left and right thermal storage compartments and the working plate, are controlled individually between 55 and 70 °C. Weekly programming switches the system on and off automatically.

Key Benefits
- Warm and ready each morning: the Master Science Tissue Embedding Center starts by weekly timer.
- Stable temperatures: flexible heating limits temperature differences across zones.
- Easy cleanup: excess paraffin lifts off the granite work area.
- Firm blocks quickly: cryo module works at -20 °C or lower.
- Safer operation: dual overheat protection and low-voltage lighting.

Common Problems and How This Center Helps
How the Master Science Tissue Embedding Center addresses common embedding difficulties:
- Hot and cold spots across the station: each zone has its own control.
- Wax stuck to the bench: granite surface cleans easily.
- Settings lost after shutdown: automatic memory and restore.
- Soft blocks that section poorly: cryo module down to -30 °C.
