[. . . ] Leica TP1020 Automatic tissue processor for the histology laboratory Reliable Technology, Maximum Specimen Safety Leica sets new standards in many fields of application with technically innovative instruments for specimen preparation. [. . . ] The efficiency of the system is further enhanced by a two-part plexiglass fume containment shield surrounding the reagent container platform. Maximum safety for the tissue The tissue specimens are protected from drying out even during a power failure since the tissue baskets are automatically immersed in a station. The program is resumed where interrupted once mains power is restored. If the programmed infiltration time for any of the stations is exceeded a warning message is displayed indicating the station number and the time in excess of program. Practical details The specimen throughput can be doubled by using a second tissue basket for improved productivity in routine and research laboratories. The tissue basket is moved up and down in the liquid at three-second intervals to ensure thorough and even mixing of the reagents and optimum infiltration of the tissue. Sealing rings on the container lids reduce solution loss and therefore also emission into the ambient atmosphere to a minimum. All reagent stations are easily accessible because the instrument can be User-friendly, easy-to-use control panel The buttons of the control panel are arranged in functional groups. The easy-to-read LCD indicates the station parameters such as number of tissue baskets, vacuum function and remaining infiltration time, real time, start time (delayed start), overall duration and end of run time. Each of the nine programs can be run with immediate or delayed start. rotated nearly immediately and without difficulty by using the integrated and adjustable rollers. Four configurations are available: basic instrument; base instrument with vacuum; base instrument with fume control system; and base instrument with vacuum and fume control.
