When selecting instruments for a conventional workflow, ease of use and reliability enables a stress-free and productive working environment. This starts in the grossing area choosing a customizable grossing workstation with a comprehensive suite of features. The specimens are placed into one of the Tissue-Tek® Uni-Cassette® System relying on the unique feature that prevents the premature separation of lid and base during processing. For better productivity, the identification of specimens requires a fast and versatile Tissue-Tek® SmartWrite® Cassette Printer. At this point, you can start benefiting from replacing your existing instruments with the two workhorses, the Tissue-Tek VIP®6 AI for tissue processing of up to 300 cassettes per batch, and the robust and ergonomic Tissue-Tek® TEC™ 6 for manual embedding. Now, decide to reduce waiting time by printing slides with a fast Tissue-Tek® SmartWrite®Slide Printer in up to 8 colors, and to cut sections with the Accu-Cut® SRM™ 300LT Manual Microtome leveraging the innovative illumination of specimen in the blocks. Finally, choose to reduce both the staining and drying time by utilizing the fastest integrated stainer-staining system on the market, The Tissue-Tek Prisma® Plus Staining System linked to a Tissue-Tek® Glas™ g2 Automated Glass Coverslipper staining slides with the Tissue-Tek Prisma® H&E Stain Kit #1.
