Automated Tissue Processor - Carousel Tissue Dehydrator - 12 Stations - 56-86°C Paraffin

The Master Science Automated Tissue Processor is a microprocessor-controlled carousel unit that dehydrates, clears and infiltrates human, animal or plant tissue with paraffin. It suits pathology laboratories in hospitals, universities and research institutes.

Twelve stations hold nine 2.3 L glass reagent beakers and three 1.8 L heated paraffin cups. A PLC with a 7-inch colour touch screen runs the programme, and a mechanical arm moves the specimen basket between stations. Model MSTSP-6BSWISS adds a vacuum pump for stronger reagent penetration.

Key Benefits

• Unattended overnight runs: the Master Science Automated Tissue Processor can delay its start by up to one month.
• Even infiltration: the basket is agitated at least ten times an hour.
• Visible process: glass beakers let you watch the tissue.
• Stable paraffin: constant temperature control within ±1 °C.
• Stronger dehydration: vacuum assistance on the 6B model.

Pathology laboratories that also run blood counts can pair it with the Master Science 5-part auto hematology analyzer.

Common Problems and How This Processor Helps

How the Master Science Automated Tissue Processor addresses daily histology issues:

• Manual transfers between reagents: the arm moves the basket automatically.
• Uneven dehydration: regular stirring keeps tissue in contact with reagent.
• Lost samples after power cuts: power failure alert and protection.
• Dense tissue that processes slowly: vacuum-assisted model available.
