Your laboratory can keep the same
quality as manual processing but gain the time for
other tasks and the convenience of doing things on a
more predictable schedule. All tissues can be loaded
and the timing set so that the tissue finishes at
the time you desire. Each morning or afternoon the
tissue is ready for you when you want it.
Safe, Versatile, Programming
The processor can come to you with
your protocol loaded in internal memory. Your
programs can be on external "data keys" that look
like a large plastic key but have a memory chip
inside, these can programmed by you or RMC. This is
great for backup purposes, it is also a big relief
if the primary operator is out and no-one is sure
which protocol is loaded to run. By just putting the
key into the unit and turning it the program is
loaded, now just press Start. You can call this in
from anywhere with confidence.
This is the only system that uses
Sealed Vials for all reagents. With any other
carousel system the operator is potentially exposed
to multiple hazardous vapors upon trying to inspect
the process, change vials, retrieve the stack, etc.
This can unnecessarily expose the operator and
institution to risks. The EMP 5160 vials can be
loaded in a hood, the instrument can be operated
outside the hood and allows complete inspection of
the system while operating, exchanging of vials,
pulling the stack for adding samples, etc. without
exposure to all reagents in the system.
The EMP 5160 uses traditional stack
rings with stainless steel screen bottoms or the
molded, one-piece design with a center post. Both
come with all the loading tools* necessary for easy
and safe loading.
These two sample basket systems allow
processing of up to 48 samples per run, running a
few large samples up to 5mm x 5mm or extremely fine
samples depending on your needs.
* The sample loading system has many
features designed by Mr. Gregory Argentieri of
Novartis, East Hanover, NJ. We thank him for his
contribution to EM tissue processing.
