The PELCO HistoWave cassette system consists of a seamless, thick-walled cassette tank and a cassette rack which are also available individually. The design provides for ease of loading, unloading and fluid exchange during processing. The system will hold 26 standard-sized plastic cassettes or 22 standard and 2 over-sized cassettes.
