for histologyfor histological sectionsfor histology laboratories

Product overview
Configure the Leica TP1020 tissue processor to match your laboratory workflow: start with the base benchtop instrument and add modular options such as vacuum, fume/exhaust control, combined vacuum and fume control, and an adaptation for use with chloroform. Complete the system with available accessories. For in vitro diagnostic use.

Key features

• Modular configuration: options for vacuum, fume control, vacuum + fume and chloroform compatibility.
• Variable throughput: process up to 100 cassettes standard or support 200 cassettes with optional baskets.
• Intuitive operation: user interface designed to reduce training time.
• Mechanical fallback: manual/mechanical operation possible during power outages to protect specimens.
• Accessory support: multiple add-ons to adapt to different workflows.
