Brands Stocked Across the Histology Catalog
The histology catalog stocks lines from Sakura (Tissue-Tek cassettes, molds and Accu-Edge blades), Leica Biosystems (Paraplast embedding media, microtome blades and reagents), Epredia (slides, cassettes and processing reagents), Statlab and Cancer Diagnostics (marking dyes and staining reagents), and Simport Scientific (cassettes and molds). Consumable formats are standardized to fit common processors, embedding centers and microtomes used in anatomic pathology.
Histology and pathology supplies are a high-consumption line in every anatomic pathology operation - cassettes, blades, slides and processing reagents are drawn down daily and are the SKU groups most often placed on standing orders. Consolidating these consumables through a single distributor keeps the bench stocked across grossing, processing and slide preparation and simplifies bulk reordering for laboratory materials management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What histology supplies are stocked for the tissue processing workflow?
The catalog covers the full anatomic pathology workflow: tissue cassettes and embedding molds, tissue marking dyes for grossing, grossing and dissection instruments, processing and clearing reagents such as xylene and graded alcohols, disposable microtome blades, and slides, coverslips and mounting media for staining and coverslipping. Each subcategory page lists brands, formats and pack sizes stocked.
Which histology brands does MAP Medical carry?
Stocked brands include Sakura (Tissue-Tek cassettes, molds and Accu-Edge blades), Leica Biosystems (Paraplast media, blades and reagents), Epredia (slides, cassettes and reagents), Statlab and Cancer Diagnostics (marking dyes and staining reagents) and Simport Scientific (cassettes and molds). Brand availability differs by subcategory.
Are histology consumables standardized to fit common instruments?
Yes. Cassettes, molds, blades, slides and coverslips are stocked in the standard dimensions used with common tissue processors, embedding centers, microtomes and automated stainers. Low-profile and high-profile blades and charged and plain slide formats are stocked so a lab can match the consumable to its installed equipment.
Can pathology labs order histology supplies in bulk?
Yes. Histology and pathology supplies are stocked in case and bulk quantities for hospital pathology departments, reference and reference-specialty laboratories, dermatopathology practices, academic pathology programs and licensed laboratory distributors. Standing order programs are available for high-velocity consumables such as cassettes, blades and slides. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What histology products should be included in a laboratory formulary?
A core histology formulary typically covers biopsy and standard tissue cassettes, base molds and paraffin, a multi-color marking dye set, processing and clearing reagents, low-profile and high-profile microtome blades, and charged and plain slides with coverslips and mounting media. Additions depend on the lab's stain menu and case mix. MAP Medical builds consolidated histology formulary packages matched to laboratory volume - contact our team for an assessment.
