Automated routine tissue processor

The Leica EM TP is the first tissue processor designed for EM and LM resin processing that features a heating/cooling system with pre-heat and pre-cool capabilities to maintain a constant processing temperature. It includes an easy-to-operate membrane control panel. The sample carousel holds 24 EM or 12 LM vials and utilizes various specialized baskets and capsules. An exhaust system supports safer use of toxic substances.

24 polypropylene vials of 20 ml for one EM processing run; 12 polypropylene vials of 100 ml for LM processing run; Independent vial seals for each vial; Carousel designed for both EM and LM vials; The processing chamber is enclosed and ventilated via a fume extraction system; The specimens are supported in various baskets depending upon their size, the mesh varying in accordance with sample size; The baskets are located on an arm which can move vertically up and down to allow agitation; Heater and cooler system allowing temperature control between +4°C and +60°C.

Equipment for embedding of different tissue in paraffin, epoxy resin, PEG etc. prior to microtome sectioning.
