Used MILES/SAKURA VIP 2000 (Tissue-Tek) #112410 for sale

MILES VIP 2000 (Tissue-Tek) is an innovative lab equipment and accessory developed by SAKURA Scientific that allows for efficient, precision-controlled tissue embedding, sectioning, and subsequently mounting to glass slides. The tissue embedding and sectioning process is automated, allowing for greater precision and accuracy than traditional manual techniques. The equipment incorporates two main components - a tissue embedding station and a glass slide mounting station. The tissue embedding station is designed for convenience and efficiency. It has a heated trough that allows for fast and accurate tissue embedding using an aqueous based embedding medium. An adjustable platform is included for loading tissue blocks and for consistent and uniform embedding, whilst the tissue is secured using negative pressure. A coolant tray and variable temperature embedding cassette also feature in the stage, helping to reduce the embedding time and maintain temperature consistency. The subsequent glass slides mounting station is also advanced and features a large capacity turntable, capable of mounting up to 24 slides at once. The slide turntable even includes a pressure setting, allowing tissues to be accurately adhered to the slides. Moreover, to further speed-up the process, a unique air knife accessory can also be added, ensuring fast cooling and condensation on the slides. MILES/SAKURA VIP 2000 (Tissue-Tek) is easy-to-use, compact and ergonomic, making it highly efficient. It features intuitive touchpad controls, including an electronic membrane touchpad and an LCD display panel that displays all parameters in real time, from temperature control to workflow progress. In conclusion, MILES VIP 2000 (Tissue-Tek) is an advanced lab equipment and accessory that simplifies and streamlines the tissue embedding and sectioning process. The equipment integrates two main components - a heated trough for tissue embedding and a turntable for mounting tissue sections to slides - as well as a range of advanced technical features for precision and accuracy. Furthermore, the equipment is compact, user-friendly, and has intuitive touchpad controls for ease of use.
