An embedding center typically consists of the following components:
1. Paraffin Dispenser: This unit maintains molten paraffin at a specific temperature, ensuring consistent embedding medium. 2. Cold Plate: Used to rapidly solidify the paraffin-embedded tissue, securing it in place. 3. Heated Work Surface: Keeps the embedding molds and tools warm, preventing premature solidification of the paraffin. 4. Molds and Cassettes: Containers in which tissues are placed before embedding in paraffin.
