FAQs

1. What type of processing mechanism does the Carousel Tissue Processor use?

Carousel Tissue Processor uses a carousel-type processing mechanism combined with a vertical reciprocating motion, where the tissue basket moves up and down three times per minute. This motion ensures thorough penetration of reagents into the tissue samples by increasing surface contact and agitation. The rotary design allows for efficient sequential immersion in reagents and waxes, making it a reliable choice for consistent tissue processing.

2. How many processing steps can be programmed on the Carousel Tissue Processor ?

Carousel Tissue Processor supports up to 12 programmable processing steps using 9 reagent containers and 3 paraffin wax baths. Each step corresponds to a different phase in the tissue processing cycle, such as fixation, dehydration, clearing, and embedding preparation, offering a fully automated workflow. This makes the Carousel Tissue Processor suitable for complete tissue processing protocols in both research and clinical labs.

3. Can I customize the operation time for each step in the Carousel Tissue Processor ?

Yes, the Carousel Tissue Processor allows customizable timing for all processing steps. Users can set the duration of the first and last stations between 1 to 999 minutes, offering flexibility for specific sample types. Intermediate stations can be bypassed or assigned 0 minutes, allowing users to tailor each cycle based on the density, size, or tissue type. This level of control enhances processing precision and sample quality.

4. What kind of safety features are included in the Carousel Tissue Processor ?

Carousel Tissue Processor includes multiple safety measures to protect both the samples and the operator. An anti-collision mechanism automatically stops the movement of the hanging basket in case of physical obstruction or mechanical interference. Additionally, the system is equipped with an Uninterruptible Power Supply () that provides 4 to 6 hours of backup during power outages (excluding the wax bath), ensuring ongoing sample preservation and avoiding mid-process damage.

5. How does the wax system in the Carousel Tissue Processor prevent contamination?

The wax system in the Carousel Tissue Processor includes three independently heated wax baths with temperature ranges from 60°C to 99°C. These are maintained at a constant, controlled temperature to avoid fluctuations that could cause premature wax solidification or contamination. The consistent heat also prevents reagent carryover or crystallization, ensuring clean infiltration and optimal tissue integrity during embedding.
