The ASP6025 S Tissue Processor is a modular tissue processor for the following laboratory applications: • Fixation • Dehydration • Infiltration with intermedium • Paraffin infiltration of histological tissue specimens. The ASP6025 S can be used as medical IVD product. The improved features of the ASP6025 S are the combination of: • Reduced processing time • Easier reagent exchange • Monitoring the ethanol quality by density measurement as well as the • Ability to replace xylene, a substance that is hazardous (including to the health), with special process protocols. The instrument has been designed so that it is safe to use by the operator as well as for processing specimens. However, the prerequisite for this is that it is operated according to these Instructions for Use.
An electrically-powered automated or semi-automated laboratory instrument intended to be used for the processing of clinical tissue specimens [e.g., fixation (encapsulation in paraffin wax), dehydration, infiltration] in preparation for subsequent cytological or histological examination. The device may be a single unit or modular assembly.
