Pathology Equipment
Tissue Processor
A tissue processor moves samples through fixation, dehydration, clearing, and paraffin infiltration to prepare them for embedding and sectioning. Cassette capacity, retort count, protocol speed, and traceability drive selection. The Leica HistoCore PELORIS 3 (dual retort, 16 reagent bottles, 4 wax chambers, barcode) is the high-end option and the HistoCore PEARL (200-cassette capacity) the compact one; Thermo Scientific Excelsior AS is a known established model.
