Development and application of multifunctional thermostated instrument / 医疗卫生装备

ABSTRACT

Objective To introduce a multifunctional thermostated instrument applied in pre-floats,floats,roast,special staining,immunohistochemical staining,situ hybridization and frozen sections in order to enhance speed and quality of slice-making.Methods Three lengths of vats were nested and overlaid each other to make up a thermostat box which could stretch out and contract back.Its control part consisted a timer,precise temperature control and adjustable power controller.Source of heat was provided by durable electric heat plate to keep the constant temperature for different operations.Results The equipment provided constant temperature and possesses all the necessary functions.It can be used for the pathological operation and compensate for the shortcomings of medical equipment.Conclusion With small volume and light weight,the equipment is easy to carry.Besides,it has less power consumption,so it is secure and easy to operate.The equipment can meet conventional pathology techniques both in peacetime and wartime.
