[. . . ] The Leica TP1020 is an automatic tissue processor that perfectly combines approved technology with modern, user-friendly design. [. . . ] Easy to program, this instrument offers the user utmost flexibility to suit the individual requirements of any laboratory. 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 use of two different activated carbon filters (for formalin and alcohol/xylene) frees the exhaust air from the solution fumes and releases the cleansed air into the ambient atmosphere. The efficiency of the system is further enhanced by a two-part plexiglass fume containment shield surrounding the reagent container platform. Maximum 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. Each of the nine programs can be run with immediate or delayed start. rotated nearly immediately and without difficulty by using the integrated and adjustable rollers.
