 Shandon Hypercenter XP Enclosed Tissue Processor

 


Shandon Hypercenter XP Enclosed Tissue Processor

The Hypercenter XP is a computer-controlled, fluid transfer tissue processor with automated fixation, dehydration, cleaning and paraffin infiltration of tissue specimens.

Fully Enclosed System

The Reagent Storage Module does not allow reagent fumes to vent into laboratory atmosphere when the Hypercenter is in operation.

Flexible air bag which maximizes the systems air capacity.

Emergency activated carbon filter
is utilized as an additional safety feature only if there is excess pressure.

Optimized Design

Organized capacity of 180 cassettes.

Can be configured as either a floor model or bench-top model.

One Command Module can control up to 5 reaction and storage modules for processing capacity of up to 900 cassettes per load.

Save as many as 9 customized programs.

Unit comes with default processing parameters available at each step of heat, vacuum, immersion time and extended drain time.

A time-of-day clock continuously displays and is used by the instrument to calculate and set continuous, real-time processing log.

Software is programmed to accommodate year 2000 changes.

Multilingual-Continuous on-screen prompts display in user choice of English, Spanish, French, Italian, German or Swedish.

Vacuum and positive pressure move reagents to and from the sealed specimen chamber through a single, rotary valve located in the reagent storage module.

Second blowout of reagent at every step.

Two independent paraffin baths completely infiltrate the specimen with paraffin.

Flush (purge) cycle automatically cleans the unit with heated xylene (or substitute) and then alcohol.

Glass specimen chamber lid allows the user to see the specimens during processing without opening the sealed lid.

The Hypercenter XP Portable Wax Station offers the option of a third wax bath which can be used as a final clean stage in the wax impregnation of specimens.
The Wax Station can be conveniently located to the side of the Hypercenter XP Reaction Module, so that wax-impregnated specimens can be transported safely to an embedding station without messy wax spillages.
Temperature is controlled thermostatically and is adjustable between 45 C to 65 C within +- 1 C accuracy
