Tissue Processors
Tissue processors automate defined preparation stages that bring fixed tissue toward infiltration with an embedding medium for subsequent sectioning.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Tissue processing describes the steps required to take animal or human tissue from fixation to the state where it is completely infiltrated with a suitable histological wax and can be embedded ready for section cutting on the microtome.
Tissue processing is a procedure of removing water from cells and replacing it with a medium which solidifies allowing thin sections to be cut on a microtome. Tissue processing is routinely done on an instrument called Tissue Processor.
Reagent exchange, retort configuration, temperature and timing control affect the preparation workflow. Processing, embedding and microtomy are sequential but distinct tasks. Cassette capacity must be considered with validated protocols and cycle scheduling.
What turns activity into demand
Tissue workload, protocol mix and operating schedules determine usable capacity and reagent purchases.
The commercial boundary
Separate processors from reagents, embedding stations and microtomes.
Does a larger cassette rating always increase throughput?
No. Cycle duration, compatible specimens and workflow scheduling determine usable throughput.
