Thermo Shandon TissueWave 2 Processing & Staining System

This Shandon TissueWave 2 is designed for greater flexibility to meet the growing workload demands. This user friendly instrument will free up technical time for more complex procedures. The Shandon TissueWave 2 will consistently deliver excellent results in a fraction of the time. Laboratory safety is always an important consideration when purchasing equipment. The Shandon TissueWave 2 has a ventilation system interlock that prevents the unit from operating if there is not adequate air flow established through the microwave chamber. This prevents the unrealized possibility of dangerous and toxic fumes from accumulating. A four inch diameter aluminum ventilation hose comes standard with the unit. Control of the Shandon TissueWave 2 is monitored by two separate parameters; either by temperature or total power control. Temperature may be further defined by measuring total time (including the ramp time to achieve the correct temperature) or by the time at temperature for a particular Preset. A custom designed vacuum chamber is an added accessory that comes with the Shandon TissueWave 2. This unique chamber allows for more rapid microwave fixation and consistent paraffin wax infiltration. The Shandon Excelsior Tissue Processor baskets may be used in conjunction with the Shandon TissueWave Microwave Processor to work in conjunction to meet all tissue processing needs. The Shandon TissueWave 2 has an interactive LCD display screen that directs and instructs the user throughout the operation of the unit. The keypad control panel is easy to use. Universal symbols are used for multiple languages. The system allows for 40 Preset steps for multiple processing and staining procedures. These Preset steps are user defined and can be run on demand. Air agitation, internal light switch, and vacuum may be defined within a Preset or controlled independently from the control panel. It features a sleek modern design with a ventilation system that removes dangerous and toxic fumes. It has programmable, 40 Preset functions, vacuum chamber for rapid fixation and paraffin infiltration, temperature and power controls, and ability to convert wattage protocols. It has the most accurate temperature control of any pulsed power microwave. One cycle/one second pulsing power mode. It has an easy to use display screen and control panel. RUSH specimens can be handled effectively. Frees up technical time for more complex procedures. Provides processing and warning messages throughout use. The temperature probe guarantees accurate temperature control to ± 1° C. It is compatible with the Shandon Excelsior ES Processor organized baskets. Refurbished Tissue Processors
