Fully automated tissue embedding

Sakura Finetek has launched the Tissue-Tek AutoTEC a120, a second-generation, fully automated tissue embedder that eliminates the labour-intensive need to manually orient and embed tissue specimens and form tissue or cell paraffin blocks. The AutoTEC technology, combined with the Paraform Sectionable Cassette System, ensures that the orientation of specimens is locked from grossing to microtomy for all routine tissue types, thereby eliminating the risk of orientation mistakes and tissue loss for increasing patient safety.

Enhanced features include the incorporation of a cassette barcode reader for LIS connectivity and traceability of specimen blocks, and the SMARTair, a new technology to optimise block quality. Based on customer feedback, the input and output doors, the paraffin reservoir and access to the base moulds have been redesigned, providing improved ergonomics while requiring minimal user maintenance.
