Macro Tape Transfer System
MTTS®
For the transfer of whole body sections to glass slide
MTTS® is an exclusive and
patented technique for aid at cutting and mounting of
large sections onto glass slides. The kit allows for mounting
on slide as large as 5 x 7 inches.

MTTS® relies on the use of a specific tape to transfer
large sections to glass slide. The principle is identical
to the one described in CryoJane®. Click

MTTS® allows solid
transfer to glass slide
MTTS® brings for the first time a solution to stain
and label large sections with regular histology procedures
while preserving the section. The MTTS® allows the
transfer with a specific tape of the large section to
a glass slide that has a coating which cures under UV
and provides a strong attachment to the slide.
MTTS® preserves morphology
and tissue integrity
All the operations of the MTTS® are realized inside
the cryostat preserving the section from melting. Morphology
and components integrity are protected for a reliable
interpretation.

MTTS® Kit
MTTS® is a kit that provides accessories and reagents
to start up. Disposables, reagents and adhesive tape
can be purchased then separately. Glass slides are not
provided .
The operation of the technique is easy and does not
require specific maintenance.
The kit is delivered ready for use with:
- 2 rolls of large adhesive tape of 2 different width;
- Reagents to coat slides;
- A UV lamp;
- A hand roller.
