Biology & Histology

JP Selecta biology and histology equipment supports the preparation, processing and preservation of biological tissues for anatomopathological diagnosis and histological research. The range includes paraffin embedding stations, paraffin dispensers, flotation baths and slide drying ovens. Biological sample preparation is complemented by our centrifuges for cell separation.

The operating principle matches each stage of the histological workflow: embedding stations integrate paraffin dispenser thermostated at 56-60 °C, cold plate at 0-5 °C for rapid solidification and cassette storage compartment, thermostatic flotation baths maintain distilled water at precise temperature to spread microtome sections without wrinkles or folds, and slide drying ovens dry preparations at gentle 37-60 °C before mounting. For additional thermal steps, see our laboratory ovens.

Applications cover surgical histopathology for oncological diagnosis, immunohistochemistry of tumour markers and hormone receptors, routine biopsies, fixation and embedding techniques, microtome serial sectioning and H&E (haematoxylin-eosin) staining processes and special techniques. Technical recommendations and protocols are published by the National Society for Histotechnology (NSH) with practical resources on standard operating procedures.

Regarding accreditation guidelines, anatomical pathology laboratories are typically accredited under the College of American Pathologists (CAP) checklists and participate in the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program. Cancer diagnosis datasets are published by the Royal College of Pathologists, providing standardized tissue pathways for specific tumour types.

Regulatory compliance follows ISO 15189:2022 for medical laboratories and, for equipment classified as medical devices, ISO 13485:2016 on quality management systems for medical devices. JP Selecta has been manufacturing under this standard since 2018, guaranteeing complete product traceability and documented change control.

Manufactured with triple certification ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 13485:2018 at the Abrera plant, JP Selecta biology and histology equipment features official technical service specialized in anatomical pathology and a spare parts network throughout Spain.
