Destined to change the face of histology, the Tissue-Tek® Xpress™ Rapid
Tissue Processor and the Tissue-Tek® AutoTEC™ Automated
Embedding System offer unprecedented productivity and
standardization for today's busy laboratories.
• reduce histological diagnoses times from several
days to less than one day
• revolutionary continuous-specimen-flow, high throughput,
1-hour tissue processor
• a combination of a novel four-reagent system, patented
mico-wave technology, and traditional vacuum infiltration
technology
• precisely controlled mechanical and thermal actions
ensure optimal, standardized processing
• based on a blend of very gentle reagents performing
fast and efficient fixation, dehydration, clearing
and impregnation

Tissue-Tek Xpress® x50
Standardized processing in record time.
The Tissue-Tek® Xpress® x50 delivers unprecedented productivity and maximizes staff efficiency. Ideal for your smaller or specialized workloads, the Tissue-Tek® Xpress® x50 eliminates work bottlenecks, dramatically improving workflow.
The Tissue-Tek® Xpress® x50 processes up to 440 specimens in an 8-hour shift, with the ability to load up to 40 cassettes approximately every 45 minutes. It provides outstanding time and cost savings, as well as increased staff safety, while producing standardized, accurate results paralleling those from overnight processing, allowing same-day diagnosis and, ultimately, improved patient care.
Sakura Accu-Edge Grossing
Tools
Now, achieve new levels of accuracy and total ease
with the
new Accu-Edge® set of grossing tools.
Specially
developed to ensure consistent, uniform grossing results,
the Accu-Edge® grossing tools include a
specially designed grossing board available in two
sizes, standard
and large. Featuring two adjustable wells that ensure
grossing to an exact thickness, this board enables
complete standardization
of the grossing process. Integrated rulers on either
side of the board also enable gross measurement of
specimens.
In addition, Accu-Edge® trimming knives
and scalpel blades provide the sharp cuts necessary
for these exact
grossing techniques. And new tissue tampers allow for
keeping a firm hold on specimens while making horizontal
cuts.
The Accu-Edge® product line also includes
three grossing forks designed to hold specimens such
as skin, arteries,
colon, and any specimens with layers during grossing,
while maintaining perfect specimen form. Each fork
is designed
with two sets of sharp tines, separated by a space
measuring 1.5, 2.0, or 2.5 mm. Cuts are made on the
outer sides
of the fork for precise results.
