<p>A device and method for the removal of excess embedding tissue from histological samples comprising a plate (20) with heating elements (25). The plate (20) has at least one trench (22) and a plurality of grooves (23) at the surface (21) of the plate (20). The plate (20) is arranged at a slight angle as compared to a horizontal plane. Once the device reaches working temperature the user slides a cassette, with extra embedding medium down the surface (21) of the plate (20). The extra embedding medium melts from the cassette and runs through the plurality of grooves (23) to the trench (22) and finally to a receptacle.</p> |
