TissueTek CytoTek 2500High cellular recovery with superb preservation of cellular structure The CytoTek 2500 Centrifuge is designed for the purpose of transferring cells onto a glass slide from cytological specimens contained in a specimen chamber through the process of centrifugation. The instrument aspart of the cytology process is intended to facilitate the in vitro examination of human and animal cells for morphology changes by a cytopathologist.

The CytoTek 2500 Cytocentrifuge is a benchtop centrifuge for cytological specimens that transfers cells from fluids to glass slides for microscopic examination. Cell dispersion on the glass slide is in a specific square area with all cells from the specimen deposited evenly on the slide. Paced acceleration is always on eliminating operator bias in assessing cell fragility. It will operate at speeds from 200 to 2.500 rpm adjustable in increments of 10 rpm for periods from 1 second to 99 minutes and 59 seconds adjustable in 1 second increments. Three sizes of specimen chambers are available for the unit 1 mL 6 mL and 12 mL chambers.

AccuCut SRM 200Perfect partner for precision sectioning The AccuCut SRM 200 Rotary Microtome is a heavy duty rotary microtome designed for sectioning of paraffin embedded specimens.

The AccuCut SRM 200 Rotary Microtome is used to thin section in microns the specimen embedded in the paraffin block. Routinely most specimens are sectioned at 35 microns. To accomplish this procedure the paraffin block the cassette backing is mounted in a moveable chuck. Chuck movement is up and down past a blade edge and front and back movement in given micron increments. Given this movement the block is sectioned during each pass across the blade edge. The result is a ribbon of successive sections each section being x number of microns deeper into the block than the preceeding section.The AccuCut SRM 200 is a manually operated rotary microtome. 

Benefits:

• Locking the handwheel quickly safely in any position

Specimen Orientation: Three axis orientation 

• Horizontal: 8 Degree
• Vertical: 8 Degree
• Rotation: 90 Degree

Displacement of Blade Holder Base:

• North South: Maximum: 55 mm (Vertically) with all adapters attached: 40 mm East / West: 45 mm

Tissue safety meets Reliability setting new standards in processingThe TissueTek VIP 6 AI Vacuum Infiltration Processor is a selfcontained floorstanding automatic tissue processor used to process tissue specimens. It holds up to 300 tissue cassettes and comes with added features of Advance Solution Manager & iSupport.
This VIP 6 AI is designed for automatic processing purposes in an enclosed single processing chamber. The VIP® 6 AI runs cycles of fixation, dehydration/defatting, clearing, and paraffin infiltration of tissue specimens which are necessary for sample preparation in histological studies and examinations, conducted for the pathology, anatomy and clinical pathology fields.
The instrument is provided with a means of pumping a designated processing solution into a retort containing specimen baskets, processing them in a given time under predetermined conditions, and then pumping the solution out after a lapse of the time. These operations are automatically performed in a single retort in accordance with predetermined processing steps.
After completion of the processing steps, specimen baskets are removed from the retort. Paraffin is pumped out to the last paraffin container from the retort which is afterward cleaned with retort cleaning solutions.
Features:

• LCD color touch screen and intuitive windows based software
• External drain & fill Internal heated retort lid and condenser
• Ergonomic designed retort lid
• Automated reagent management system
• Four different level sensors
• Illuminated reagent check

Benefits:

• Easy access and graphical display of reagents, bulk reservoirs and retort. Linked to state-of-the-art  and user friendly software results in increased user convenience
• One fill/drain port for reagent reservoirs and 2 external fill ports for the bulk reservoirs enable users to exchange or fill reagents faster, increasing the speed by which reagents are exchanged or filled, hence workflow and limit the exposure to fumes of hazardous chemicals
• Absence of condensation and fumes in the retort increases reliability of tissue processing and limit the exposure to fumes of hazardous chemicals
• Quick and safe open/close of retort lid increases user convenience
• Quality of processing is improved, higher efficiency obtained due to reagent management system, eliminate the risk of tissue dry-out
• Four sensors prevent overflow in the retort and the load of too many cassettes. Besides, they ensure a safeguard level (2.7L for 150 cassettes and 3.5L for 300 cassettes) for all fluids. These features increase reliability by eliminating the risk of tissue dry out.
• Easy monitoring of reagent levels is possible, increasing reliability of the process

Specification:

• Program memory: Fifty processing programs, three user defined cleaning programs, one warm water flush program, one rinse cycle and optional drying cycle
• Pressure/vacuum agitation: Selectable, p/v cycle: pressure, ambient and vacuum are cycled in the retort during processing; V cycle: ambient and vacuum are alternated in the retort during processing
• Pump in/out mixing: Two different mixing functions: 1) agitation by completely pumping reagent in and out (either fast in 12 minutes or slow which takes 20 minutes) or 2) agitation by pumping reagent in and out while specimens are completely immersed (either continuous during the complete process or short/instantaneous between the level sensors).
• Valve system: One rotary valve and one gate valve for reagent and paraffin transfer, and external drain and fill, heat on or off
• Fail-safe systems: Solution manager substitutes compatible solution to complete the run and automatic reversal of pumping action to insure specimens remain submerged
