DewaxAR®

A simple, small, and easy to use device developed to rapidly complete paraffin removal and antigen retrieval of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) immunohistochemistry (IHC) tissue sections. This flexible system is designed to fit in nearly any histology or cytology laboratory. DewaxAR is perfectly paired with the Novodiax Q-STAIN X Autostainer and the new frioBlockTM and frioFixTM products in support of rapid slide preparation for FFPE tissue sections and as a pretreatment device to help improve frozen tissue section results, e.g. removal of interfering substances such as endogenous peroxidase.

DewaxAR completes both paraffin removal and antigen retrieval processes in a single step. Benefits include;

  • 1-Step programmable device for paraffin removal and antigen retrieval
  • Typical 1-step protocols have a run time of 15-25 minutes
  • Easy to program safety key pad allows the user to separates users from direct electrical connectivity while managing operational parameters such as filling, heating, draining, protocol run times, and temperature settings
  • Automated skimming of wax from the surface means slides can be safely removed directly following the heating process with little fear left-over floating wax adhering to already processed slides
  • Two highly concentrated buffers available depending upon pH preferences
  • Buffer volume capacity of 1.5L and tissue section capacity of up to 24 slides
