Shandon Pathcentre®
產品簡介
The Shandon Pathcentre is a high-volume, totally enclosed tissue processor that allows complete user control and excellent continuous reagent agitation.
The practical design of the Shandon Pathcentre provides a 306-cassette capacity basket plus the ability to add up to three extra processing modules for high throughput laboratories. The Shandon Pathcentre’s "Closed Loop System" ensures that fumes stay within the system and do not escape into your lab, resulting in fewer changes of charcoal filters. A gentle counter-stir agitation and tidal flow system combine to promote maximum fluid penetration through baskets and cassettes for excellent processing quality and consistency. A circular reaction chamber optimizes temperature uniformity, and enhances continuous agitation. The Shandon Pathcentre is also designed to allow flexible, real-time programming for up to 9 processing programs. Simple multi-lingual programming is displayed on a back-lit LCD monitor that displays commands in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian or Swedish with full onscreen prompt graphics. A user can decide between selectable processing parameters including heat, vacuum, pressure, immersion time, drain time, and agitation. A built-in clock enables selection of immediate-start or delayed-start functions for overnight, weekend, and holiday periods.
Quality control indicators automatically alert you when to change reagents and perform maintenance/service procedures.
