FAQ's of Microprocessor Tissue Processor:
Q: How does the Microprocessor Tissue Processor improve laboratory workflow in histopathology?
A: This equipment automates routine tissue processing steps such as fixation, dehydration, clearing, and impregnation, reducing manual handling. With programmable cycles and real-time control, it streamlines specimen preparation, increases throughput, and enhances laboratory efficiency.
Q: What safety features are included in the tissue processor for user protection?
A: The processor includes overheat protection, audible alarms, lid lock mechanisms, and programmable safety interlocks. These features prevent accidents, notify operators of cycle completion, and protect both specimens and laboratory staff during operation.
Q: When should the tissue processor be cleaned, and what procedures should be followed?
A: Regular cleaning is recommended after each processing cycle or at least daily to maintain performance and hygiene. Detachable parts can be easily removed for cleaning, and users should follow manufacturer guidelines using appropriate non-corrosive agents to ensure longevity.
Q: Where is the processor typically installed, and can it be wall-mounted?
A: This tissue processor is designed for stationary use on laboratory benches. It is not suitable for wall mounting due to its size and weight (approximately 25 kg). Carefully position it in a dry area away from direct sunlight, within a temperature range of 10C to 40C.
Q: What is the benefit of having up to 9 user-defined programs available?
A: Storing multiple customized processing cycles in internal non-volatile memory allows laboratories to handle diverse specimen types efficiently. It saves setup time, increases consistency, and supports rapid workflow adaptation to varying protocols.
Q: How are reagents handled to minimize evaporation during tissue processing?
A: Sealed reagent containers are used within the processor. This design minimizes evaporation, maintains reagent integrity, and ensures reliable specimen processing outcomes while reducing operational costs due to reagent loss.
Q: Can the processor handle multiple specimen sizes in one cycle, and how?
A: Yes, the universal tissue basket accommodates various cassette sizes, enabling simultaneous processing of multiple specimens. This supports efficient batch workflows and flexibility for different laboratory requirements.
