The Shandon TissueWave 2 Specimen Processing System is used for tissue fixation and processing, decalcification of hard material, routine special stains where heat would accelerate the staining process, and for epitope enhancement during immunohistochemistry staining.
Product Detail
It is designed for greater flexibility to meet the growing workload demands. This user friendly instrument will free up technical time for more complex procedures. The Shandon TissueWave 2 will consistently deliver excellent results in a fraction of the time.
Laboratory safety is always an important consideration when purchasing equipment. The Shandon TissueWave 2 has a ventilation system interlock that prevents the unit from operating if there is not adequate air flow established through the microwave chamber. This prevents the unrealized possibility of dangerous and toxic fumes from accumulating. A four inch diameter aluminum ventilation hose comes standard with the unit.
Control of the Shandon TissueWave 2 is monitored by two separate parameters; either by temperature or total power control. Temperature may be further defined by measuring total time (including the ramp time to achieve the correct temperature) or by the time at temperature for a particular ?Preset?.
Shandon TissueWave 2 vacuum chamber A custom designed vacuum chamber is an added accessory that comes with the Shandon TissueWave 2. This unique chamber allows for more rapid microwave fixation and consistent paraffin wax infiltration. The Shandon Excelsior Tissue Processor baskets may be used in conjunction with the Shandon TissueWave Microwave Processor to work in conjunction to meet all tissue processing needs.
Shandon TissueWave 2 LCD display The Shandon TissueWave 2 has an interactive LCD display screen that directs and instructs the user throughout the operation of the unit. The keypad control panel is easy to use. Universal symbols are used for multiple languages. The system allows for 40 ?Preset? steps for multiple processing and staining procedures. These ?Preset? steps are user defined and can be run on demand. Air agitation, internal light switch, and vacuum may be defined within a ?Preset? or controlled independently from the control panel.
