Enclosed Tissue Processor - Vacuum Tissue Processing System - 300 Cassettes - 12 Reagent Stations

The Master Science Enclosed Tissue Processor is a fully automatic, sealed tissue treatment system. Samples stay in one retort while reagents and wax are pumped in and out, so fumes are contained and a mechanical fault cannot leave tissue stranded between stations.

It handles up to 300 cassettes per run, stores 10 programmes and is operated from a 15-inch colour LCD touch screen. One key switches between normal processing and a rapid mode that finishes in about three hours.

Key Benefits

• Cleaner air in the lab: the Master Science Enclosed Tissue Processor is sealed against gas leakage.
• Samples stay put: only the reagents move.
• Runs resume after power loss: the interrupted protocol continues in order.
• Longer reagent life: stations drain back fully to limit carry-over.
• Fast or overnight: rapid and normal modes on one key.

Fluid Handling

• Single mechanical air-pressure transfer device in place of multiple solenoid valves
• Automatic wax rotation: tank 1 to waste, tank 2 to 1, tank 3 to 2
• Full back-flow reagent station design

Processing

• Magnetic stirring shortens processing time
• Cassette holder designed for thorough reagent contact
• Rapid mode about 3 hours; normal mode for overnight

Protection

• Automatic resume after power is restored
• Over-temperature protection

Applications

The Master Science Enclosed Tissue Processor is used for:

• Tissue dehydration, clearing and wax infiltration
• Histopathology laboratories with high cassette volumes
• Laboratories that need enclosed reagent handling

Common Problems and How This Processor Helps

How the Master Science Enclosed Tissue Processor deals with typical processing risks:

• Solvent fumes in the workspace: enclosed system with no gas leakage.
• Tissue drying out when a carousel stops: samples never leave the retort.
• Reagent cross-contamination: complete back-flow before the next fill.
• Manual wax changes: automatic wax rotation.
