RELIABLE TECHNOLOGY, ENSURE SPECIMEN SAFETY

Eleven configurations are available: the basic instrument; the basic instrument with/without vacuum; the basic instrument with/without a fume control system; the basic instrument with both vacuum and fume control, and configurations for use with chloroform and with accessories.

TISSUE INFILTRATION UNDER VACUUM

Vacuum can be applied to any of the stations both in manual and automatic operation. The advantage: Substantially improved infiltration
of tissue in a shorter time. Instruments with the vacuum feature are equipped with anodized aluminum containers.

REDUCED EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS FUMES

The instrument variation with fume control system offers two options for removing solution fumes: The TP1020 tissue processor can be equipped with two activated carbon filters (for formalin and alcohol/xylene). An exhaust air tube directs the solution fumes to an outlet.

ENSURE SAFETY FOR THE TISSUE

The tissue specimens are protected from drying out even during a power failure since the tissue baskets are automatically immersed in a station. The program is resumed where interrupted once mains power is restored. After a long-term power failure, the wax will be liquified.
If the programmed infiltration time for any of the stations is exceeded a warning message is displayed indicating the station number and
the time in excess of program.

USER-FRIENDLY, EASY-TO-USE CONTROL PANEL

The buttons of the control panel are arranged in functional groups. The easy-to-read LCD indicates the station parameters, such as number of tissue baskets, vacuum function and remaining infiltration time, real time, start time (delayed start), overall duration and end of run time. Each of the nine programs can be run with immediate or delayed start.

PRACTICAL DETAILS

The specimen throughput can be doubled by using a second tissue basket for improved productivity in routine and research laboratories.
The tissue basket is moved up and down in the liquid at three-second intervals to ensure thorough and even mixing of the reagents and
facilitates tissue infiltration. Sealing rings on the container lids reduce solution loss and therefore also emission into the lower ambient atmosphere. All reagent stations are easily accessible because the instrument can be rotated by using the integrated and adjustable rollers.
