The Roundfin XH-90 Paraffin Trimmer is a compact table-top wax paraffin trimmer designed to fit easily in any histopathology or pathology laboratory. The melted paraffin shaved from tissue blocks during trimming drains away from the grooved heating surface and down into the included removable collection tray below — keeping the working surface clean during multi-block trimming sessions. The grooved surface facilitates proper wax drainage and allows multiple tissue blocks to be trimmed simultaneously, improving throughput during pre-microtomy block preparation. Medigear.uk supplies the XH-90 and can advise on configuration and procurement.

The collection tray stays in place via magnetic contact with the unit, providing a secure fit that prevents it from sliding or shifting during active use. The included PE disposable tray liner allows easy, convenient disposal of collected runoff wax without scraping out the collection tray — the liner containing the solidified wax is removed and discarded after each session, eliminating the need to clean the tray interior. Two temperature settings are available: a low setting of approximately 80°F (27°C) and a high setting of approximately 90°F (33°C). The surface temperature is 80°C (±2°C). Preheat time is 5–8 minutes from a cold start.

Product size is L285×W125×H205mm. Net weight is 3.6kg. Power is 80W. Voltage is AC 220V/50Hz or AC 110V/60Hz — dual voltage supporting both European and North American electrical environments. The power cord is UL-listed, confirming safety certification for the North American market. Working temperature is 5°C–40°C, with relative humidity below 80%. We can provide the full specification and supply terms on request.

NHS histopathology departments, hospital pathology laboratories, and diagnostic services that require a compact, multi-block wax paraffin trimmer with a hygienic PE liner waste system for the pre-microtomy tissue block preparation stage are the primary procurement context for the Roundfin XH-90 Paraffin Trimmer. The grooved heating surface accommodates multiple tissue blocks simultaneously, supporting higher-throughput block trimming than single-block instruments in laboratories with large daily microtomy volumes. The magnetic collection tray with PE disposable liner makes end-of-session wax waste disposal clean and convenient without scraping. Medigear.uk supplies the XH-90 and can provide NHS procurement documentation.

Medical colleges, university histology teaching departments, and training laboratories benefit from the XH-90's simple two-temperature-setting design and PE liner system, which provides a clean, hygienic paraffin trimming station for student use with minimal clean-up between sessions. The magnetic tray and disposable liner reduce the time spent on equipment cleaning, making the XH-90 practical for teaching environments with frequent instrument changeovers between student groups. Medigear.uk can advise on the procurement of XH-90 for teaching settings.

Research histology laboratories, food testing services, and veterinary diagnostic facilities requiring a compact table-top paraffin trimmer at 3.6kg will find the XH-90 practical for positioning on any laboratory bench adjacent to the microtome or embedding station. The two temperature settings offer modest protocol flexibility to accommodate different wax formulation trimming requirements. Medigear.uk can advise on XH-90 configuration for research and specialist procurement.

Private pathology services and commercial histopathology facilities will find the Roundfin XH-90 available through Medigear.uk. The dual voltage AC 220V/110V specification and UL-listed power cord support deployment in international and North American electrical environments. Medigear.uk can discuss XH-90 supply terms on request.

PE Disposable Tray Liner — No Scraping Required

The PE disposable tray liner is the defining convenience feature of the XH-90 — collected runoff wax solidifies on the liner rather than the tray surface, and the liner is discarded at the end of the session without scraping. This eliminates the most time-consuming and messy element of paraffin trimmer maintenance, making the XH-90 significantly more convenient to clean and reset between sessions than trimmers without a liner system.

Magnetic Collection Tray for Secure, Tool-Free Removal

The magnetic tray attachment holds the collection tray securely beneath the heating surface during trimming without a mechanical lock, while allowing the tray to be removed by hand for liner replacement without tools. The magnetic contact prevents tray displacement during active use and provides a reliable, low-maintenance attachment mechanism.

Grooved Multi-Block Surface for Simultaneous Trimming

The grooved heating surface accommodates multiple tissue blocks simultaneously, channelling wax drainage from all blocks toward the collection tray. Multi-block trimming increases throughput in high-volume histopathology departments where large numbers of cassettes must be trimmed before the daily microtomy session.

Two Temperature Settings for Protocol Flexibility

Two heat settings — low (approximately 27°C) and high (approximately 33°C) — provide modest flexibility for different wax formulations or operator preferences without requiring complex temperature adjustment. The fixed 80°C (±2°C) surface temperature maintains consistent trimming conditions once the chosen setting is selected and the 5–8 minute preheat is complete.

Compact Table-Top Design for Any Laboratory Position

The L285×W125×H205mm footprint — particularly the narrow 125mm width — allows the XH-90 to be positioned in limited bench space adjacent to the microtome or embedding station without significant impact on bench space. The manufacturer explicitly cites the compact table-top design as fitting easily in any laboratory.

UL Listed Power Cord for North American Deployment

The UL-listed power cord, combined with 110V/60Hz dual-voltage support, enables certified deployment in North American laboratory environments. UL listing confirms the cord meets North American electrical safety standards, supporting procurement by institutions with UL certification requirements.

Dual Voltage AC 220V/110V for International Use

AC 220V/50Hz and AC 110V/60Hz dual-voltage support enables deployment in European and North American electrical environments without a converter, facilitating international procurement for research collaborations and multinational pathology networks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

The PE (polyethene) disposable tray liner is a thin, flexible liner that sits inside the magnetic collection tray. When wax drains from the grooved heating surface into the collection tray, it solidifies on the PE liner rather than directly on the metal tray. At the end of the session, the PE liner — with the solidified wax sitting on it — is lifted out and discarded. This eliminates the need to scrape hardened wax from the tray interior, which is typically the most time-consuming and messy part of cleaning a paraffin trimmer. The PE liner makes end-of-session waste disposal clean, quick, and hands-free.

The collection tray is held in position beneath the tilted grooved heating surface by magnetic contact with the instrument body. This magnetic attachment keeps the tray securely in place during trimming without a mechanical lock or clip, while still allowing easy removal for PE liner replacement and tray cleaning. The magnetic fit prevents the tray from shifting or falling when the instrument is used with firm block contact pressure.

Yes — the manufacturer explicitly states that multiple blocks may be trimmed simultaneously. The grooved heating surface is designed to accommodate multiple paraffin blocks simultaneously, with the grooves channelling wax drainage from all blocks toward the collection tray. Multi-block trimming capability enables higher-throughput pre-microtomy block preparation in busy histopathology departments, where large numbers of blocks must be trimmed before sectioning begins.

The XH-90 has two temperature settings: a low setting of approximately 80°F (27°C) and a high setting of approximately 90°F (33°C), as described by the manufacturer. The fixed surface working temperature is 80°C (±2°C). The two settings provide modest operating flexibility for different wax formulations or trimming preferences. Medigear.uk can provide further details on the temperature-setting operation on request.

UL (Underwriters Laboratories) is a North American safety certification organisation. A UL-listed power cord indicates that it has been tested and certified by UL to meet North American electrical safety standards. This certification is relevant to deploying the XH-90 in North American laboratory environments and may also apply to some international institutions that require UL-certified equipment components. The UL-listed power cord, combined with the AC 110V/60Hz dual voltage specification, positions the XH-90 for North American procurement and deployment.

Both are Roundfin wax paraffin trimmers with similar dimensions, a 5–8-minute preheat, and dual-voltage support. The XH-90 key features that the TR-302 lacks are: a magnetic collection tray, a PE disposable liner (no scraping), and a multi-block grooved surface for simultaneous trimming. The TR-302 key features not found on the XH-90 are: 300ml collection drawer capacity, ergonomic low-gravity handles, and waterproof, insulated, heat-resistant construction. The TR-302 is lighter (1.95kg vs 3.6kg) and lower-powered (50W vs 80W). Medigear.uk can advise on the selection between TR-302 and XH-90.

Yes — the manufacturer describes the XH-90 as a compact table-top design that fits easily in any lab. At L285×W125×H205mm and 3.6kg, the XH-90 occupies a narrow bench footprint (only 125mm wide) and can be placed adjacent to the microtome or embedding station without significant impact on the bench. The taller 205mm height is the notable dimension compared to the flatter TR-302 (H120mm), positioning the XH-90 differently on the bench visually while maintaining a compact width and depth.

The surface temperature is 80°C with ±2°C accuracy. This is 5°C lower than the TR-302's 85°C surface temperature, but well within the effective trimming range for standard paraffin wax formulations used in diagnostic histopathology.

Yes — Medigear.uk is the UK supplier for the Roundfin XH-90 Paraffin Trimmer and the full Roundfin histopathology instrument range, including the TR-302. Contact Medigear.uk for pricing, specifications, procurement documentation, and comparison support across the Roundfin paraffin trimmer range.

The XH-90's collection capacity depends on the PE liner and tray dimensions rather than a stated volume specification. The PE liner is replaced when full or at the end of each session. If you need more details on tray capacity, Medigear.uk can provide them on request.
