DESCRIPTION
Rapid Microwave Tissue Processor for Specimens up to 3mmThe Histos 3 unit is ideally suited for histology laboratories that process generally small to medium size biopsies and where thickness of sampled tissues is easily controlled to no more than 3 mm thickness. Separate microwave and wax cavities to allow dual processing.
FEATURES
- Full microprocessor control of 800W emitted power.
- Mode stirrer technology for optimal microwave field homogeneity.
- All stainless steel construction (1) with ceramic bottom plate.
- Cabinet coating resistant to organic solvents and acids.
- Four fast release microswitches instantly interrupt microwave emission when door is opened (2, 3).
- Built-in heavy duty exhaust fan (4) (55 m3/h - 32.4 cfm) forextraction of vapors to fume hood to fulfill CAP and CLSI guidelines
Additional Specifications
- Histoprocessing: Same-day processing and diagnosis using 2-3 reagents only with low toxicity: FineFix, ethanol, isopropanol, JFC, ProWave.
Decalcification: decalcification plus histoprocessing of bone marrow biopsies in 240 minutes.
- Special Stains: GMS (fungi) in 25' - Masson trichrome in 32' - Alcian blue in 13' - Grimelius (agyrophil) in 13'.
Gross Hardening: 45/60 minutes.
