Complete Product Description

Excelsior ES Tissue Processor

Thermo Scientific Excelsior ES Tissue Processor features economical, walk-away tissue processing with superior tissue processing quality and lowest cost of ownership. The Excelsior ES Tissue Processor is now Xylene free!

Why Reduce Xylene from Tissue Processing?

• Changes in processing programs may require adjustments to staining protocols.
• As with many of instruments availible from GMI Application Support is available for assistance if needed

• Same day turn-around for diagnostic evaluation
• 25% reduction in processing time
• Better microscopic results
• It is safer for your staff and the environment
• Due to CAP "unannounced" site inspections

• Daily Operations Mode, an easy-to-use operating mode for routine operation
• Systematic logging and reporting of quality control data, event records, and program information
• Automatic in-process reagent rotation—no manual handling of reagents
• Three distinct fill levels in chamber to shorten processing times
• Ten customized programs and five flush options
• Seven password-protected areas
• Easy-to-read screens with colorful graphics; multilingual

• Unique reagent monitoring and management system delivers significant reagent cost savings
• Reagent quality of first alcohol is measured using specific gravity and alerts operator when replenishment is needed
• Reagent preheating option allows for more consistent and rapid processing
• Circular design allows greater temperature uniformity
• Continuous agitation circulates reagents freely around specimens
• Baskets are designed for maximum reagent infiltration around specimens by preventing cassette bunching
• Glass lid allows viewing during processing
• Baskets are microwavable and can be used in conjunction with microwave post-fixation

• Built-in downdraft ventilation minimizes operator exposure to hazardous vapors when the reaction chamber lid is open
• Reagent storage cabinet is built to enhance safety and is vented through two additional filters for further fume control
• Battery backup provides for specimen protection by safely completing transfer of reagents during power interruptions
• Two independent remote alarms alert user when away from unit or after hours
• Automatic underfill recovery finishes processing in safest environment possible
