The HistoCore Arcadia from Leica Biosystems Inc, Buffalo Grove, Ill, is a modular embedding system designed to streamline workflow in histopathology laboratories. Consisting of the paraffin-dispensing module Arcadia H and the cold plate Arcadia C, the system offers simple operation and precise control to help improve the quality, reliability, and speed of embedding work. The new station incorporates wrist-pads to increase comfort and stability, an optional magnifier to facilitate specimen orientation of small and complex biopsies, and a liquid crystal touchscreen for increased control. The large workspace of the Arcadia H enables the user to set out multiple cassettes and molds, and its paraffin tank holds up to 4 L of paraffin. The temperature of the different compartments and surfaces of the instrument can be adjusted individually. The cold plate of the HistoCore Arcadia C can hold more than 60 cassettes and was designed with an environment-adaptive control module to stabilize the operating temperature at around –6°C.
