Sakura Tissue-Tek VIP6 AI Tissue Processor
The VIP6 AI is an automated tissue processor featuring several safeguards which protect the user and the tissue being processed. Bulk reservoirs are available to provide additional reagent in the event of an underfill and the equipment completes a bottle-check to ensure all connections are secure before each run starts.
The processor is set to utilise 1 optional fixative step, an ethanol series to remove water content, 3 xylene changes and finally, cycle through molten paraffin from 4 baths to perfuse the tissue with wax, in preparation for embedding.
9 commonly used programs are loaded and the Research Support Officer can add new programs to suit individual protocol requirements.
