Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pathological equipment, and in particular relates to a paraffin embedding mold cleaning machine. Background Art

[0002] In pathological experiments, tissues must be sealed in embedding molds with embedding media such as paraffin to provide a fixed support before subsequent processing such as slicing. When the paraffin block of the sealed tissue is knocked out of the mold, some paraffin and tissue debris will remain in the embedding mold, affecting its reuse. The existing cleaning method is to heat the paraffin on the embedding mold to melt and drip.

[0003] However, the above heating cleaning method has the following disadvantages: 1. The embedding molds are placed randomly in the heating box, and the number that can be placed is limited. The cleaning speed of the embedding molds is slow, which affects the embedding efficiency; 2. The temperature of the embedding molds that have just been heated is too high, and it is easy to burn your hands when taking them out for use; 3. The tissue debris or residues left in the embedding molds after use cannot be thoroughly cleaned by simple heating treatment, which can easily cause sample contamination and misdiagnosis.

[0004] In the existing embedding mold cleaning device, such as CN220497144U, melted paraffin and water are mixed in the washing tank during cleaning, and the paraffin needs to be recovered first and then drained, which is relatively troublesome to operate. Utility Model Content
