An automated embedding center typically consists of a heated paraffin reservoir, a cooling plate, and a workstation for arranging tissue samples. The process involves:
1. Tissue Processing: Samples undergo dehydration, clearing, and infiltration with molten paraffin. 2. Embedding: The processed tissue is placed in a mold, and molten paraffin is added to encase it. 3. Cooling: The mold is transferred to a cooling plate to solidify the paraffin, thus embedding the tissue.
