The x Series processors are the only rapid tissue processors that allow continuous processing to streamline safe tissue handling and the histology workflow. With the improved reagent system and software options, histopathology laboratories will achieve new levels of speed in processing, with an hourly throughput of up to 120 specimens. The x Series uses an innovative, low-wattage microwave technology; improved, molecular-friendly reagents, and traditional vacuum infiltration techniques to provide consistent, superior results in record time. The speed and continuous throughput of the x Series allows an even distribution of cases throughout the day, making workloads more manageable. Specimen slides now make their way to the pathologist faster than ever, enabling same-day diagnosis, drastically reducing patient stay and anxiety. The x Series eliminates the use of formalin and xylene on the processor, minimizing waste management costs. The x Series reagents are molecular friendly, preserving DNA, RNA and proteins in the paraffin block, thus eliminating the need to use fresh tissue for molecular studies. The reagents provide excellent morphology, sharp nuclear detail, and crisp cellular images equal to or better than those produced by conventional tissue processing. Compatible with special staining and immunohistochemistry methods, these reagents can often eliminate the need for antigen retrieval.
