TissueSAFE plus is an innovative and patented vacuum system which eliminates the need for formalin in the operating theatre and allows for a controlled, formalin-free, transfer of biospecimens to the laboratory.
No formalin fumes
Specimens are held in “fresh” conditions
No spilling
Original specimen colors are preserved
Drying of tissues is eliminated
Immediately after excision, specimens are transferred to an adjacent room where the TissueSAFE plus is installed.
Why TissueSAFE plus?
FORMALIN-FREE PROCEDURES
Improved staff health in both the OR and AP rooms due to zero exposure to formalin. Tissues are transported fresh to the Pathology Lab to perform fixation under controlled conditions. This leads to optimal histology and allows for improved/consistent IHC staining. Fresh tissue is ideal for Tissue Banking and Molecular Biology.
SAFETY
Fully automated and closed operations. HEPA filter on board.
STANDARDIZATION AND QUALITY
Time & Temperature monitoring for documentation of tissue transport conditions. No tissue drying. No spillages. No contaminations.
IMPROVED ARCHIVING
Storage in vacuum bags dramatically reduces volume. Archiving without formalin is possible.
EXTREME COST-SAVING FOR DISPOSAL
No formalin used, neither purchased nor disposed. Lower disposal cost thanks to a decreased volume of bio-hazardous material in vacuum bags.
