Histology tissue cassettes are small, single-use plastic containers designed for laboratory processing of biopsy or tissue samples. They hold specimens during preparation steps like fixation, dehydration, and paraffin embedding, ensuring proper handling before microscopic examination by pathologists.
These devices are typically classified as in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) and are supplied sterile, ready for immediate use. They are often used in conjunction with larger processing systems and must comply with regulatory standards for laboratory equipment, though classification varies by jurisdiction.
