Histology Paraffin Wax Removal Scraper
SKU: 22577
Remove paraffin wax from microtomes and embedding equipment with the Indigo™ 22577 stainless steel curved scraper. Clean lab equipment without damaging precision surfaces or blade holders.
Histology labs use paraffin wax extensively for tissue embedding, but wax accumulates on microtome surfaces & elsewhere, interfering with precision cutting and contaminating subsequent samples. While heat can melt wax for removal, it's not always practical on temperature-sensitive equipment or when quick cleanup is needed between specimens. The Indigo™ 22577's broad curved scraper provides histology technicians with efficient mechanical wax removal. The wide scraping edge clears wax buildup from flat microtome surfaces and equipment bases, while the curved profile navigates around blade holders and adjustment mechanisms. The stainless steel won't damage microtome painted surfaces or precision ground ways when used properly. Regular wax removal maintains equipment performance and prevents the contamination that compromises specimen quality.
Indigo™ dental tools are made with AISI 410 German surgical grade stainless steel, not "alloy steel" made from rusted cars. We've been selling dental tools on-line since 1998. Ours stay sharp longer & are autoclavable: see Documentation below that confirms chromium & manganese content.
