1Reply9 months ago | What to do before moving the HistoStar to another building? Can we unplug the HistoStar to get the paraffin solid in all tanks so that we can move it with no spill. Then replug it in the new building, wait few days to reheat all the paraffin: will the device be working nice again? Thanks Reply |
3Replies4 years ago | HistoStar embedding center - tissue tank not getting hot enough If anyone has a service manual, for the HistoStar, to upload, that would be wonderful. The customer says that the tissue storage tank (or perhaps the mold storage oven) is not getting hot enough. The paraffin tank is melted, and it dispenses, so the issue is only with one of the two storage areas (I wasn't clear which of the two they were speaking of). How close in electronic design is this to the HistoCentre 3? Can one get into the service mode in a similar fashion? Does it use the same thermistors, as does the Histocentre 3, for temperature sensors? Reply |
