Thermo Scientific™ Excelsior™ AS Tissue Processor

Description

Get the superb tissue quality and proven reliability you expect, plus a safer, more efficient working environment, with the Thermo Scientific™ Excelsior™ AS Tissue Processor which provides exceptional and enhanced tissue quality with minimal user interaction. To help ensure consistent high quality service and results, use Thermo Scientific™ reagents and paraffin. 

Enhanced tissue quality

• Cassette baskets are gently rotated inside the circular chamber, providing more effective agitation than an impeller
• Reagents can be pre-heated to up to 35°C, minimizing tissue shock and facilitating reagent penetration

• Alcohol quality measurement enables you to extend your reagent life and provides significant cost savings
• Automatic reagent rotation further extends reagent life using a proven system

• Reduce maintenance time by replacing one bottle of each reagent, rather than all of them
• Draw new reagents directly into the processor from your supplier’s bottles—no pouring, no mess, and no fumes
• Run rapid biopsies during the day and conventional programs overnight
• Compatible with IPA xylene-free processes as well as conventional reagents

• When the chamber is opened, a fan pulls fumes through a filter to protect users from formaldehyde exposure
• Fumes from the cabinet are also extracted through filters to protect users from alcohol, xylene, and formaldehyde
• Waste paraffin can be removed by simply discarding a plastic tray—no paraffin spillage and burns
• Power outages are no longer a concern; Excelsior keeps your tissue safe with battery backup

• The all-new touch-screen interface is intuitive and easy-to-learn
• With intelligent software, it’s easier to avoid mistakes that affect tissue quality

• The Excelsior AS Tissue Processor reflects engineering enhancements based on more than 10 years of service history

• A full range of reports is available for routine logging, quality assessment, statutory reporting and trouble shooting
• Reports are easily downloaded via a USB drive
• Messages can be sent automatically to the laboratory information system
• Remote alarms ensure that any problems are immediately addressed
• Thermo Scientific™ NetMon™ II monitoring system allows remote diagnostics over a HIPPA compliant, secure internet connection for immediate identification and resolution
