The Decloaking Chamber is a pressure cooker for heat induced epitope retrieval with variable temperature, fully integrated digital control. It is programmable for time and temperature, includes an automatic audible warning system. This model also has the pressure gauge, “HOT” sticker and 3-prong laboratory safe grounded plug. Up and down arrow keys allow user to select temperature from 37° to 125° C. Useful for HIER as well as Special Stain procedures. Available for 220V or CE approved. U.S. patent number 6,580,056, June 17, 2003.

Biocare Medical Microtiter Plate Platform
The Biocare Microtiter Plate Platform, is for free floating sections. The Platform holds the microtiter plates away from the source of heat used in HIER, allowing for more even, standardized results. This Platform was developed to support microtiter plates during antigen retrieval within an HIER instrument. Standard microtiter plates holding free floating sections are filled with a retrieval solution, placed on the Microtiter Plate Platform, which is then be lowered into a pressure system for heat induced antigen retrieval (ie, the Decloaking Chamber from Biocare). This is especially critical when using thick sections of delicate tissue such as brain tissues. The Microtiter Plate Platform also stabilizes the specimens and enables ease of use. It has been rigorously tested for heat stability and is ISO compliant.

Steam Monitor Strips and pH Strips for Quality Control
The steam monitor strips are heat and pressure sensitive which allows the user to ensure that the chamber has reached full temperature and pressure as evidenced by the charcoal black color. The strips can be placed in your laboratory notebook as a permanent record for that run. QC pH Strips provide a permanent visual QC record of HIER procedures. QC pH Strips record pH at high temperatures.
