Specimen Discs, True Margin™ & Lab Essentials

Everything on this page is engineered around one job: a consistent, well-oriented frozen section, whatever cryostat your lab runs.

Cryostat Specimen Disc

Our specimen disc and specimen chuck are machined to fit Leica, Tanner, IEC, and Avantik cryostats, giving frozen sections a stable, level mounting surface from the first cut.

New — With Mohs Precision Tools

True Margin™

Developed in partnership with Mohs Precision Tools, the True Margin™ helps histotechnicians achieve optimal specimen alignment during embedding and freezing — reducing unnecessary tissue trimming and helping labs consistently produce high-quality frozen sections.

Key Benefits

Greater tissue preservation — reduces unnecessary trimming during sectioning
Improved specimen alignment before cryostat sectioning
Consistent, flatter frozen sections for easier evaluation
Increased laboratory efficiency, fewer repeat sections
Easier training for new histotechnicians

Why It Matters: Every Micron Counts

Successful Mohs surgery depends on accurately evaluating the entire surgical margin while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Improper specimen alignment can lead to excessive trimming, tissue waste, incomplete sections, longer processing times, and repeat sectioning. True Margin™ helps reduce these challenges by promoting consistent specimen positioning before cutting begins.

Designed For

Mohs surgery laboratories, histology laboratories, pathology laboratories, frozen section labs, dermatopathology practices, academic medical centers, and research laboratories.
