Macro-Tape-Transfer System® Process

The Macro Tape-Transfer System easily installs in your CryoMacrotome enabling the transfer of a whole body or brain section from a tape to a glass slide.

• A cold tape supports & captures the section as it is cut.
• The section on the tape is laminated to a cold adhesive coated slide inside the cryostat.
• The adhesive coating is polymerized.
• The tape is then removed.
• The section is bonded to the slide and ready for processing.
• The slides can be studied in the microscope.
