DESCRIPTION

The Leica TP 1050 is a fully enclosed, self-contained, and automated tissue processor. Designed for high volume applications, the TP 1050 is menu-driven, microprocessor-controlled and fully programmable to meet the needs of any facility. The system is available in a benchtop or freestanding configuration. The TP 1050 processor automatically processes tissue in a stationary retort through a sequence of fixation, dehydration, clearing and paraffin impregnation steps. Processing of each tissue in the solution can be enhanced by heat, vacuum-only, pressure-only, and a combination of pressure-vacuum cycles to enhance the infiltration process.
