Ted Pella, Inc., products

The PELCO Dispenser™ dispenses paraffin and provides paraffin management. It is also the control module which contains the control center for the PELCO Embedding Studio™ as a whole. At the top right side of the module is an easy to program touchscreen control panel for setting days of the week, start time, stop time, and temperature. The 3.8-Liter paraffin reservoir is filled through the top access lid. The dispensing arm has four heated forceps holders on each side with a precise paraffin flow control knob for the dispensing nozzle. The PELCO Dispenser™ has a large heated work surface (ranging from 50°C to 75°C) to accommodate warmed embedding molds and tissue cassettes ready for embedding. This includes vertical trimming plates on both forceps holder/warmers and two horizontal trimming plates on the heated work surface. It also includes a 61 x 46mm cold spot (ranging from -5°C to 5°C) for tissue orientation with any size of embedding mold.

The PELCO Warmer™ module will hold 800+ standard embedding molds or up to 100 Super Mega molds. The door of the warming chamber folds back for efficient access. The base has a large warming tray with a sliding cover, which accommodates most tissue processing baskets. The PELCO Warmer™ has a temperature range of 45°C to 70°C.
