Sakura Tissue Tek VIP 6 AI
Tissue samples can be processed for formalin fixation to final paraffin infiltration
Sakura Tissue Tek Tec 6 Embedding station
Tissue Embedding Center contains a paraffin reservoir, a thermal and cryo consoles providing efficient embedding of tissue specimens in paraffin wax
Leica HistoCore BioCut Microtome
Cuts fixed paraffin embedded fixed specimens at extremely thin slices for microscopic examination.
Leica Ag-Protect Cryostat
Maintains a chamber at -20°C to -30°C, enabling the precise slicing of ultra-thin sections of frozen biological tissue for microscopic examination.
Sakura Tissue tek SL Side Stainer
Automate the H&E and Special staining process to deliver consistent, high-quality results
Leica Biosystems Aperio FL ScanScope Pathology Slide Scanner
Designed to digitize entire glass slides with precision. Using transmitted light, it captures high-resolution whole-slide images of stained tissue samples, making it ideal for pathology, research.
