USE 33 Ultrasonic Accelerated Decalcifier

By using the ultrasonic technology of the USE 33, crystalline structures of calcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate and calcium carbonate are shattered quickly and in a targeted manner. This enables quick and cell-friendly decalcification when using suitable fixation and decalcifying solutions, e.g. USEDECALC or USERAPID. Infiltration processes of fixation, decalcifying or intermediate media are accelerated considerably.

In conjunction with the USEDECALC or USERAPID solutions, the decalcification time is shortened to 25% of the regularly needed time for bone marrow biopsies, femoral heads, nasal and auditory cartilages, and a reduction to 40 to 60% for material containing a lot of corticalis can be reached.

The heat generated by the input of ultrasonic energy is compensated for by an integrated cooling unit. Consequently, the digital temperature controller ensures a constant temperature range that is ideal for the descaling process, which is usually around 16 – 18 °C. As a result, the morphology and antigenicity are 100% preserved. Neither shrinkage artifacts nor swelling of the tissue can be seen. The morphology is retained very well thanks to the ultrasound-accelerated decalcification, so that, among other things, immunohistochemical examinations are also possible.
