Miles Scientific Tissue Tek VIP 2000 Programmable Tissue Processor Histology
Condition:(Used)SKU: 2977100296
This Miles Scientific Tissue Tek VIP 2000 appears to be in very good functional and cosmetic condition. We have run a tissue processing program to test the pumping, heating, and station switching functions, and everything is in good working order. It does include all of the chemical reservoir bottles (not shown in pics.) and all of the paraffin station basins , along with two operator manuals, one program control magnet, and sample baskets.
From the manual:
"The Tissue-Tek V.I.P. Vacuum Infiltration Processor represents the state-of-the-art development in automatic tissue processors. Compact and self-contained, the instrument is available in both bench-top and floor model configurations. Completely microprocessor-controlled, the V.I.P. processor provides ten flexible programs for fixing, dehydrating, clearing and paraffin impregnating a wide variety of specimens, which could be human, animal or plant tissue.
The instrument is comprised of four major components: a) the retort, b) the paraffin oven, c) the reagent reservoir module, and d) the electronics package. The V.I.P. instrument processes all specimens in an enclosed chamber called the retort. Processing reagents from the reagent reservoir module and molten paraffin from the paraffin oven are sequentially moved in and out of the oven by means of pressure and vacuum. This system, in conjunction with th efume control filtering and ventilation system, provides an essentially fume-free environment while minimizing the exposure of the specimens to air.
The front panel electronics package contains all the operator controls. Using the easily accessible key pad, the operator may program such options as processing time for each station, reagent heat, the use of alternating Pressure/Vacuum, and end of processing time. Each option has sufficient latittude to encompass the most stringent specimen processing requirements. In addition, a full range of operating status and alarm indicators provides the user with immediate information on the instrument's function or possible operating problems."
