Simultaneous wiring of tissues on two or three independent protocols
Closed vacuum pressure system with separate bath programming
The TPC 15 Duo/Trio is a closed tissue processor for running two or three independent high-capacity cassette protocols simultaneously.
Fifteen stations, vacuum-pressure treatment, stirring and separate tub programming support fast, day, night and output cycles. Backup power and coal filter hood protect material and staff.
Duo: up to 440 standard cassettes and 18 software cells; Trio: up to 660 cassettes and 24 cells. The volume of the bath is about 2.3 liters; step 5 minutes-10 hours; paraffin +40 ... +70 °C, reagents +40 ... +50 °C. Dimensions 1290 × 715 × 730 mm, weight about 139 kg.

Product details
Closed fabric processor
Up to three independent protocols simultaneously
Throughput
- Each protocol processes up to 220 standard cassettes simultaneously.
- Duo runs two independent protocols in parallel, Trio runs three separate protocols.
- Vacuum-pressure treatment at each stage accelerates the impregnation of tissues
- Magnetic stirrers in baths increase the uniformity of infiltration of reagents
Programming
- 15 (Duo) or 20 (Trio) free protocol cells plus pre-installed cleanup programs
- Start and end times are set separately for each bath station.
- Urgent biopsies are processed in less than an hour
Safety
- Built-in hood with carbon filter and connection to external ventilation
- Transparent protective cover of the working area and steel station covers
- Uninterruptible power supply protects the process when power is cut off
