Leica EG1150

Convenient and comfortable tissue embedding center

Modern Technology for Comfortable Embedding

The new Leica EG1150 modular tissue embedding center incorporates two separate components, the Leica EG1150 C cold plate and the Leica EG1150 H heated embedding module. The independent modules offer the flexibility to arrange embedding workflow in the direction that best suits your laboratory.

Adjustable embedding center height

In addition to the already low, comfortable working position, now you can even adjust the work surface height for opti­mum ergonomics.

Left or right handed workflow

The modular system of the Leica EG1150 allows the placement of the cold plate onto either end of the heated embedding module allowing the tech nician to embed in either a right or left handed direction.

Rounded arm rests

Rounded arm rests provide a comfortable working position free from any hard pressure points on technician’s arms.

Tissue cassette and mold warming trays located at the same level

No need for excessive arm movements while embedding. Tissue cassettes and molds are kept at the same level providing a comfortable workflow with minimum effort.

Position adjustable halogen light and magnifier

Bright, even illumination of the work area is provided by the position adjustable halogen lamp. A position adjustable magnifier is also available as an option to facilitate specimen orientation when embedding.
