Excelsior AS Tissue Processor (US Version)

The Epredia™ Excelsior AS™ tissue processor provides exceptional tissue quality with minimal user interaction. When time and money are short, the Excelsior AS™ tissue processor helps overcome these challenges while reducing exposure to hazardous chemicals. Enhanced Tissue Quality • Cassette baskets are gently rotated inside the circular chamber, providing more effective agitation than an impeller • Reagents can be preheated to up to 35°C, minimizing tissue shock and facilitating reagent penetration • Baskets can be used for microwave secondary fixation Significant Reagent Cost Savings • By directly measuring the alcohol quality during every run, reagents can be replaced when completely exhausted, reducing waste • Automatic reagent rotation further extends reagent life using a proven system • Direct quality measurement and automatic rotation together can lead to reagent savings of 75% or more Versatile, efficient Workflow • Reduce maintenance time by replacing one bottle of each reagent rather than all of them • New reagents are drawn directly into the processor from the supplier’s bottles. No pouring – no mess – no fumes • Run rapid biopsies during the day and conventional programs overnight Safe for the Tissue – safe for the Operator • When the chamber is opened, a downdraft fan pulls fumes through a filter to protect users from chemical exposure • Fumes from the cabinet are extracted through filters to protect users from alcohol, xylene, and formaldehyde • Remove waste paraffin by simply discarding a plastic tray – no paraffin spillage and burns • Battery back-up protects against power outages • Compatible with IPA xylene-free processes as well as conventional reagents Simple to learn and operate • The all-new touch screen interface is intuitive and easy to learn • With intelligent software, it is easier to avoid mistakes that affect tissue quality • Engineered for reliability and peace of mind • Choice between random basked and organized basket
