Tissue-Tek VIP 6 AI Vacuum Infiltration Processor

Description
Technical Specification

The top selling tissue processor in the world is now even more advanced
The first and only tissue processor offering onboard mixed solutions for advanced infiltration of fatty tissues

Advanced tissue processing
The next level of reliability and safety from the Gold Standard Line of Tissue-Tek VIP® Processors

Advanced Infiltration (AI)
• 10 user-selectable reagent agitation modes offer effective yet gentle agitation for enhanced infiltration
• Onboard mixing of alcohol and xylene from the bulk reservoirs yields superb processing of fatty tissues
• Up to 50 user-defined programs enables comprehensive tissue processing for all tissue types

Tissue safety
• The Solution Manager safeguards tissues during operation for safe and worry-free processing
• The 2 bulk reservoirs provide fresh reagent (if needed during process) to eliminate under-fills
• An automatic bottle check prevents issues BEFORE they happen by verifying reagent bottle connections prior to the start

Reliability
• A new Self Test option performs system diagnostic checks to ensure top-level functionality
• A mean time between repairs of > 52 weeks leads the industry in reliability
• New Tissue-Tek® iSupport™ allows remote monitoring of errors to increase instrument uptime
• A newly designed manifold utilizes two reagent sensors to even further enhance reliability

Convenience
• Automatic Transfer allows for in-process solution rotation to
significantly save time
• An LED-lit reagent cabinet enables quick visual observation of solution levels
• Automatic rotation of paraffin into the paraffin waste container saves time and prevents spills
