• 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

• 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

Processing steps: 14 (10 solution steps, 4 paraffin steps)

Cleaning steps: 3 (xylene, alcohol, drying)

Process time: 0 to 99 hr, 59 min in 1-minute increments for each station

Processing delay: Number of days and actual end-time, auto-calculation

Temperature: Reagent, 35º C to 60º C; paraffin, 45º C to 70º C

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).

Paraffin cleansing: Automatic paraffin oven degassing

Clean cycle: 3 user-defined options with optional drying cycle

Valve system: One rotary valve and one gate valve for reagent and paraffin transfer, and external drain and fill, heat on or off

Fluid detection: Detection of vacuum/pressure changes plus four ultrasonic sensors, 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

Solution Exchange mode: Automatically (up to 3 reagent rotations including paraffin) during processing or on demand

External drain and fill: Select from drain, fill, drain & fill with optional rinses with water, alcohol, water/alcohol, alcohol/water, or an external solution

Password protection: Password programmable, 2 levels (4 managers and 20 users)
