Description
Features of the Leica TP 1020 Automatic Tissue Processor:
For gentle specimen processing and maximum tissue safety. Features microprocessor control and an easy-to-program interface. Carousel-type processor has ten 1.8L (60.9oz.) reagent stations and two 1.8L (60.9oz.) wax baths. The tissue basket oscillates up and down in each station at three-second intervals to ensure thorough and even mixing of the reagents and optimum tissue infiltration. Infiltration time is separately programmable for each station. Up to nine programs may be run with immediate or delayed starting times. When the infiltration time for any particular station is exceeded, a warning message will display, indicating the station number and excess time. Controls are arranged by functionality with an LCD to indicate operational parameters. Reagent container lids have seals to minimize operator exposure to hazardous fumes.
Tissue basket immediately immerses in a station in the event of power loss to protect samples from drying out. When power is restored, program will resume. In the event of long-term power failure, wax is liquified. Capacity of tissue basket is 80 cassettes.
Vacuum configurations hasten infiltration, allowing pressure to be applied to any station in either manual or automatic operation. Fume control configurations extract fumes with a fan and pass them through an internal carbon filter. For added efficiency, these models feature a two-part containment shield surrounding the reagent container platform.
