Instrumentation and Applications

Automated Tissue Processor

  • This processor is used for paraffin sections. Tissues are preferred in 10% neutral buffered formalin.

Sakura Automated Stainer

  • The stainer can process 40 slides per run, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Dewaxing and hydrating services are available. These are useful when the user’s lab wants to perform its own specialized staining procedures.

Cryostat

  • The cryostat is used for frozen sections. OCT mounting media is available. Frozen sections using Leica’s CryoJane Tape-Transfer System are also available. The CryoJane process is designed specifically to avoid melting and air-drying the associated artifacts.
