ROUNDFIN RD-98pro

General histopathology laboratories processing routine surgical resections, biopsy specimens, and autopsy material benefit from the RD-98pro's dual HD touch-screen interface and multi-point independent temperature control, which allows individual thermal parameter management across all embedding components without compromising shared control. For NHS trusts and hospital procurement managers, CE and ISO 13485 certification provides the documentation prerequisite for device validation, risk governance sign-off, and procurement framework approval. Medigear.uk supplies full certification packs, technical file summaries, and pre-purchase consultations to support institutional procurement submissions.

High-throughput diagnostic laboratories processing large volumes of oncology resections, neuropathology blocks, and challenging fatty or dense tissue specimens require consistent embedding temperatures across multiple simultaneous operations. The RD-98pro's ability to set independent temperatures for each key component — wax tank, wax tube, heating tanks, workbench, trimmers, and forceps holder simultaneously — eliminates the thermal compromise inherent in single-zone embedding systems. The -30°C cold tab, with ample capacity for up to 70 embedding boxes, supports rapid block cooling and batch processing during high-volume embedding shifts.

Research institutions, veterinary pathology services, and specialist embedding facilities require instrumentation offering precise wax management and adaptive thermal control for non-standard tissue categories. The RD-98pro's 12-litre triple-filtered wax cylinder, 8-hole wax-trimming module, and real-time wax-level detection support consistent maintenance of wax quality across extended research runs. ROUNDFIN's OEM acceptance policy enables distributors to procure branded or customised variants of the RD-98pro through the Medigear—UK B2B procurement channel.

Independent buyers and specialist pathology clinics seeking a compact, full-featured embedding centre can acquire the RD-98pro directly from Medigear.uk. The timed start-and-shutdown function, configurable within a one-week window, supports flexible staffing and autonomous operation. The one-year warranty and lifelong technical support from ROUNDFIN, confirmed at the point of purchase through Medigear.uk, provides long-term operational assurance for individual buyers.

Dual HD Touch Screen Interface for Precise Independent Control

The RD-98pro is one of the few tissue embedding centres in its class to provide two fully independent HD colour touch screens — a 10.1-inch display for the embedding centre and a 5.6-inch display for the cold plate — allowing operators to monitor and adjust both stations simultaneously without navigating shared menus or accepting control compromises. This dual-screen architecture reduces the risk of inadvertent parameter changes during active embedding sessions and is equally accessible to experienced histotechnologists and less familiar operators. Medigear.uk can provide full interface specification documentation and operator guide extracts ahead of procurement.

Multi-Point Independent Temperature Control Across All Components

The multi-point independent temperature control system allows a separate, arbitrary temperature to be set for each key component simultaneously — including the wax tank, wax tube, left and right heating tanks, workbench, left and right wax trimmers, forceps holder, and small cooling table. This level of thermal granularity eliminates the single-zone compromises that lead to inconsistent embedding quality across different component surfaces. For laboratories processing diverse specimen types in a single session, the ability to maintain distinct thermal environments at each point of contact with the specimen is a direct quality assurance advantage.

12-Litre Triple-Filtration Wax Management System

The 12-litre wax cylinder capacity, combined with continuous triple filtration, real-time wax-level detection, and a quick wax-melting function, provides a wax management system that reduces replenishment frequency, maintains wax purity throughout extended embedding sessions, and accelerates instrument readiness at the start of each shift. In high-throughput embedding environments, the combination of large wax volume and active filtration ensures that wax quality is controlled throughout the day's work. Consumable specifications and recommended wax types are available from Medigear.uk on request.

-30°C Cold Table with 70-Box Simultaneous Capacity

The cold table's refrigeration range of 0°C to -30°C — with stepless adjustment — provides strong, reliable block solidification across all tissue types, including fatty and dense specimens that require extended cold times for complete paraffin hardening. The large working area accommodates up to 70 embedding boxes simultaneously, making it suitable for both routine batch processing and high-volume embedding shifts without queuing blocks through a smaller cold surface. This capacity is among the highest in the tissue-embedding centre category available through Medigear.uk.

8-Hole Wax Trimming Module with Independent Temperature Control

The dedicated wwax-trimmingmodule, with 8 waxing holes and its own independent ttemperature-controlcircuit, prevents paraffin accumulation on the workbench surface and ensures the trimming area remains clean and ooperationalthroughout each session. Clean, controlled block trimming is a prerequisite for the accurate facing cuts required in downstream sectioning, and a dedicated, temperature-controlled module eliminates workbench contamination, a common source of embedding inefficiency. The trimming module operates independently of the main workbench control, so adjustment of trimming temperature does not affect other components.

Timed Start and Shutdown for Flexible Laboratory Operation

The configurable timed start and shutdown function, settable within a one-week scheduling window, allows the RD-98pro to begin warming up automatically before the start of a shift and to power down safely at the end of a session without requiring the operator to be present at the instrument. This feature reduces instrument warm-up time, enables more flexible shift structures, and supports laboratories operating outside standard hours. The scheduling function is particularly valuable in research institutions and high-volume diagnostic services, where embedding sessions are integrated into broader specimen-processing workflows.

CE and ISO 13485 Certification for Institutional Procurement

The RD-98pro carries CE marking and ISO 13485 certification, the two credentials most consistently required by NHS trusts, hospital procurement committees, and regulated diagnostic laboratories for device validation andapproval under procurement frameworksl. ISO 13485 certification, in particular, confirms that ROUNDFIN's quality management system for the RD-98pro meets international medical device manufacturing standar. This distinctionat is increasingly scrutinised in institutional procurement due diligence, beyond product-level testing alone. Medigear.uk provides complete certification documentation, technical files, and manufacturer declarations to support procurement submissions.

OEM Branding and Customisation Support

ROUNDFIN accepts OEM branding and customisation requests for the RD-98pro, enabling distributors to source instruments aligned to their product portfolio and regional regulatory requirements. For distributors operating in markets where brand identity or local compliance documentation must be integrated into the instrument package, the OEM route provides a straightforward path to a market-ready product. Volume pricing, lead time schedules, and OEM agreement terms are managed through Medigear—uk B2B procurement team, which coordinates distributor relationships on behalf of ROUNDFIN.

One-Year Warranty with Lifelong Technical Support

The RD-98pro is backed by a one-year manufacturer warranty and a lifelong technical support commitment from ROUNDFIN, ensuring that laboratory operators and procurement managers have access to manufacturer-level technical guidance throughout the full operational life of the instrument. For procurement teams evaluating total cost of ownership, the lifelong support commitment reduces long-term operational risk. It assures that maintenance guidance, spare part advice, and protocol support will remain available beyond the initial warranty window. Medigear.uk coordinates warranty registration and all technical support escalation for units purchased through its platform.

10.1-Inch HD Colour Touch Screen for Embedding Centre

The embedding centre is controlled via a 10.1-inch medical-grade HD colour touch screen that provides a clear, intuitive interface for all temperature settings, program selection, and operational monitoring. The screen size and resolution support precise parameter input and real-time status monitoring even in busy laboratory lighting conditions. The simple, intuitive interface design ensures smooth, effortless operation for both experienced histotechnologists and less familiar staff, reducing the training burden for new operators joining the embedding workflow.

5.6-Inch HD Colour Touch Screen for Cold Plate

A dedicated 5.6-inch HD colour touch screen controls the cold plate independently of the embedding centre display, allowing cold table temperature adjustment and monitoring without interrupting or sharing the main screen interface. The separate control screen for the cold plate is a practical workflow advantage in busy embedding sessions where both the hot and cold tables require simultaneous management, and it prevents inadvertent parameter changes that can occur when both stations share a single interface.

Hot Table Temperature Range: Room Temperature to 75°C

The hot table temperature control system operates from ambient room temperature up to 75°C, covering the full thermal range required for standard and specialist paraffin embedding media. The upper limit of 75°C supports embedding with higher-melting-point paraffins used in specific research and specialist histology applications. Temperature management across this range is handled through the multi-point independent control system, which sets and maintains each component's temperature separately.

Multi-Point Independent Temperature Control

Independent temperature control is available for each key component: wax tank, wax tube, left and right heating tanks, workbench, left and right wax trimmers, forceps holder, and small cooling table. Each component can be set to an arbitrary temperature within its operating range without affecting adjacent components. This multi-point architecture supports stable, efficient specimen embedding and meets the diverse thermal requirements of different tissue types and embedding protocols.

Wax Cylinder Capacity: 12 Litres with Triple Filtration

The 12-litre wax cylinder provides a large working volume, reducing replenishment frequency during extended embedding sessions. Triple filtration continuously removes particulate and chemical impurities from the molten wax, maintaining the purity of the wax solution and extending the usable life of each wax charge. The large cylinder capacity combined with active filtration is a significant operational advantage in high-throughput embedding environments.

Real-Time Wax Level Detection

The real-time wax level detection system continuously monitors the wax volume in the cylinder and alerts the operator when the wax level approaches the minimum operational threshold. This prevents unexpected wax shortages during active embedding sessions and allows replenishment to be planned proactively rather than reactively. The detection system operates automatically throughout each session without requiring manual checking by the operator.

Quick Wax Melting Function

The quick wax-melting function reduces the time required to bring a full wax charge from solid to molten and to working temperature at the start of each session. This reduces instrument preparation time and allows embedding to begin earlier in each shift. The function is particularly valuable in laboratories where the RD-98pro is powered off between sessions and must return to full operating temperature before work can begin.

Preheat Tank: 245 mm × 180 mm × 67 mm

The preheat tank measures 245 mm × 180 mm × 67 mm. It is designed to accommodate a range of standard dehydration baskets, allowing cassettes to be pre-warmed before embedding without the need for a separate warming station. The tank size and depth support the most commonly used basket formats in routine diagnostic histology, and its integration into the RD-98pro platform eliminates the need for an additional piece of equipment in the embedding workflow.

Cold Table Temperature Range: 0°C to -30°C

The cold table is adjustable from 0°C to -30°C via stepless refrigeration control, providing robust cooling for rapid block solidification across all tissue and embedding media types. The -30°C lower limit supports even the most demanding embedding scenarios, including fatty tissue blocks and large resection specimens that require extended cold times. Temperature is set and monitored via the dedicated 5.6-inch cold plate touch screen.

Cold Table Capacity: Up to 70 Embedding Boxes

The cold table's large working area accommodates up to 70 embedding boxes simultaneously, supporting batch embedding at scale without queuing blocks across a limited surface. This capacity is matched to the throughput requirements of high-volume diagnostic histology departments, removing the cold table as a workflow bottleneck during busy embedding sessions. Medigear.uk can advise on box-embedding compatibility and cold-table configuration on request.

8-Hole Wax Trimming Module

The independently temperature-controlled wax-trimming module features 8 waxing holes, enabling simultaneous preparation of multiple blocks during trimming. The independent temperature control prevents paraffin accumulation on the trimming surface and ensures a consistently clean trimming environment throughout the session. The 8-hole configuration provides sufficient capacity for routine laboratory trimming rates without requiring operators to wait between block preparations.

Timed Start and Shutdown: Configurable Within One Week

The timed start and shutdown function allows operators to schedule instrument power-on and power-off times anywhere within a one-week window, enabling the embedding centre to warm up automatically before shift start and shut down safely at shift end without requiring manual intervention. This scheduling flexibility supports a wide range of laboratory operating patterns, including multi-shift, research, and low-staffing environments. Configuration is performed via the main touch screen as part of the standard operating setup.

Dual-Unit Architecture: Hot Table and Cold Table

The RD-98pro comprises two discrete units — the hot table embedding centre at 710 mm × 670 mm × 500 mm, 45 KG, 1,400 VA; and the cold table at 690 mm × 480 mm × 440 mm, 40 KG, 200 VA — which are positioned adjacent to each other on the laboratory bench. The dual-unit architecture allows each station to be independently powered, serviced, and, if necessary, replaced without affecting the other. Both units are sourced and supported through Medigear.uk as a matched system.

CE Marking and ISO 13485 Certification

The RD-98pro carries CE marking confirming conformity with applicable Medical Devices Directive requirements, and ISO 13485 certification confirming that ROUNDFIN's quality management system meets international medical device manufacturing standards. These certifications are standard prerequisites for NHS procurement approval and regulated institutional device validation.
