Superior Specimen Quality, Every Time! Automated Vacuum Tissue Processor

The Leica ASP300 set a new standard for specimen quality and reliability in automated tissue processing. Ongoing research and development work with enhanced processes and system components now reflects the latest in state-of-the-art technology: The New Leica ASP300 S The Leica ASP300 S, designed for routine clinical and research histopathology, is an innovative, smart processor for paraffin infiltration of tissue. Proven, enhanced technology and Leica’s intuitive user interface are hallmarks of the ASP300 S. Straightforward routine user operations and a variety of ‘Smart’ features, such as...

Select your favorite programs with ease Frequently used programs can be defined as ‘Favorites’. A single touch of the touchscreen starts a favorite program, using the ‘Smart Start’ function. Smart Start automates the start of most common programs and allows the technician to perform scheduling functions, such as defining a delayed end time by extending certain program steps. Smart Start reduces user intervention, which improves operating reliability. Another feature: rapid protocols for biopsies are prestored to shorten turnaround time and eliminate the need to level workflow in the...

Magnetic stirrer Full process control The Leica ASP300 S and the technician work together as a team. The technician has the freedom to set all critical program parameters to achieve the perfect process and can further control tissue infiltration by modifying the pressure levels inside the retort, as needed. Minimal reagent carryover – achieved by the software-controlled 3-step draining process of the retort and by the retort design itself – also helps achieve superior specimen quality every time. Retort: –35 kPa, 20°C Wax: 50 Level sensor: Not full Heaters: retort Off, wax Off Lid: Closed...

Enhanced Reagent Management System Leica’s comprehensive Reagent Management System (RMS) allows critical data to be assessed at a glance. The RMS ensures that all reagents and paraffin are automatically used in the order of cleanliness. The user-programmable warning thresholds automatically indicate, in a timely manner, when reagents need to be changed. To fill or drain the color-coded reagent bottles, the technician simply selects the desired bottle in the menu, and the RMS automatically takes care of the fill/drain process. The RMS ensures high-quality specimens and simultaneously reduces...
