The eCep is a handy tool for use in the tissue embedding process. It consists of a control unit and electrically heated forceps. The targeted electronic heating of the forceps tip keeps the handle pleasantly cool.

When in use, the forceps reach a temperature of between 65 °C and 68 °C. The concentrated warmth prevents damage to the tissue. It is also warm enough to melt the paraffin it comes in contact with, making it easy to adjust the tissue within the embedding mold with no paraffin sticking to the tip.

Forceps and control unit are available as a set or seperately as addition to existing devices. Every control unit comes with two connectors, making it easy to be shared between two users at a time. The forceps, available in different tip sizes, can also be connected to the TES 99 Dispenser Unit.
