Heating Forceps & Tampers

The CellCeps+ heated forceps and tampers are electrically heated instruments designed to assist in the orientation and positioning of histological specimens during embedding in paraffin wax. They incorporate safe, low-voltage heating elements which maintain an optimum temperature for manipulation of specimens in histological wax.

Forceps are available in three sizes: 1, 2 and 4mm with a choice of either serrated or smooth jaws. Smooth jaw forceps are ideal for handling fragile tissue specimens which are easily marked, whilst serrated jaws provide a strong grip for manipulating specimens, base moulds and cassettes.

The CellCeps+ range contains three sizes of heated tamper which fit directly onto the CellCeps+ control unit. The largest size of tamper was designed to help specimen embedding for the large Supa Mega Sized specimens.
