STP 120 Spin Tissue Processor
Process biological specimens from chemical fixation to paraffin infiltration with the STP 120 Spin Tissue Processor.
The Thermo Scientific STP 120 Spin Tissue Processor is a compact, benchtop carousel tissue processor, its unique design uses programmable gentle centrifugal force to augment normal vertical agitation process associated with carousel processors.
Description
Features
- Immediate and delayed start processing modes#
- Programmable spinning speed of either 60 or 70rpm; spinning can also be programmed off Programmable immersion time in each station (from 1 minute to 90 hours: 59 minutes) Basket capacity of 120 or 240 cassettes
