A certainty for Pathologists
BLOCKfast
Safety for pathologists
With BLOCKfast, even inadequate cytology specimens can be reported.
Background materials that would make a traditional cytology slide inadequate become clear with BLOCKfast technology, permitting the creation of referable samples.

multiple samples, instantly
Set up
instantly
The innovative reagent formula used allows cytoinclusions to be set up without the use of a microwave or other tools to dissolve the matrix
Reagents:
non-toxic
Our new reagents are completely free of
of toxic or carcinogenic substances
of toxic or carcinogenic substances
Non
flammable
Reagents are safe and inert, so they do not impact fire load for safety regulation purposes
Analysis
morphological and immunochemical
BLOCKfast cytoinserts can be used for immunochemistry analysis in addition to classical morphological analysis
Colored matrix to
optimize microtome cutting
BLOCKfast aggregating matrix has a slight background color to facilitate the identification of small cytoinclusions in kerosene and microtome cutting
Common
laboratory equipment
The BLOCKfast method requires 50-mL conical-bottom vials, benchtop centrifuge with associated adapters, and standard histology cassettes
Cytoinclusions in
monolayer or 3D modeling
The sample aggregated in the BLOCKfast matrix can be transferred directly into the histology cassette in monolayer mode or can be shaped by the operator to give desired shape and thickness
