User manual LEICA ASP 300 S BROCHURE

[. . . ] Another feature: rapid protocols for biopsies are prestored to shorten turnaround time and eliminate the need to level workflow in the laboratory. Routine Overnight Finish 07:45 Small Biopsies Finish ASAP Urgent Finish ASAP Routine Overnight RMS Finish ASAP 5 3 1 2 High-quality specimens, every time The Leica ASP300 S is designed to reliably deliver high-quality specimens ­ every day of the year and for many years to come. Superior process control, functional design, and precise temperature control are just a few of the features that ensure optimum specimen quality. Routine Overnight Finish 07:45 Mon 1 The Leica ASP300 S is a smart investment for the efficiency of your laboratory. Leica Design by Werner Hölbl 3 Magnetic stirrer Sensor Full process control The Leica ASP300 S and the technician work together as a team. The technician has the freedom to set all critical program parameters to achieve the perfect process and can further control tissue infiltration by modifying the pressure levels inside the retort, as needed. Minimal reagent carryover ­ achieved by the software-controlled 3-step draining process of the retort and by the retort design itself ­ also helps achieve superior specimen quality every time. [. . . ] The RMS ensures high-quality specimens and simultaneously reduces the cost of instrument operation through economic reagent usage. For documentation and evaluation purposes, reagent and specimen data can be exported and saved into word processing or spreadsheet programs and printed. Microwaveable tissue cassette baskets Leica's new plastic cassette baskets are suitable for microwaveassisted specimen fixation. The convenient basket hook transports three baskets at a time. Leica RemoteCareTM NEW!Real-time application and service support Tissue Processor downtime dramatically impacts the efficiency of your laboratory and the quality of tissues. To help maximize uptime and the performance of your most critical process step, tissue processing, Leica Microsystems now takes service and application support to the next level. The Leica ASP300 S offers Leica RemoteCare, a patented, secure software program that provides real-time application and service support. The possibility to diagnose system problems remotely with reasonable accuracy helps customers prevent issues that can cause downtime and specimen loss. RemoteCare monitors the ASP300 S in real-time, captures instrument data, and proactively resolves potential problems. This is accomplished through an internet connection from the ASP300 S's on-board computer (direct or proxy server connection to the ASP300 S is required). Privacy is always protected by the RemoteCare service. RemoteCare service can be installed during the installation of the ASP300 S or during a routine engineer visit. Also, you can upgrade your ASP300 S to RemoteCare at anytime. 5 Built to Last "Made in Germany" using the finest durable materials and components, the Leica ASP300 S is built to last and represents state-of-the-art engineering and production technology. Reliability and long-term cost-savings make the Leica ASP300 S the new standard in automated tissue processing. 1 5 2 Comprehensive monitoring and documentation The new Leica ASP300 S is equipped with a printer port that documents all program runs and settings for subsequent evaluation and/or printing. This comprehensive documentation system is capable of creating records to comply with all current quality control standards. Active paraffin cleaning cycle A simple touch of the screen reduces the concentration of solvent contaminants in the paraffin. An active extraction process ensures efficient paraffin cleaning, which extends paraffin life, improves tissue quality, and reduces operating costs. Fully enclosed fume system A smart internal air handling system contains the contaminated air inside the instrument. [. . . ] The external hose system conveniently drains reagents and paraffin. Filling the reagent bottles is safe and easy. The remote fill system ensures that reagent bottles are always filled to the correct fluid level with no under-filled bottles. The result: maximum user protection and tissue quality with minimum operating errors. 1 5 2 3 4 5 3 4 5 6 4 6 6 Leica ASP300 S ­ Technical Specifications PROCESSING RETORT Maximum capacity metal basket Maximum capacity microwaveable plastic basket Retort material: Level sensing: Processing retort volume: Paraffin temperature range: Reagent temperature range: Temperature accuracy Retort draining: Vacuum & pressure options Vacuum Pressure Recirculation (pump in/out) ­ Time before first cycle ­ Time between cycles Incubation time Delayed end-time PARAFFIN BATHS Number of paraffin baths Paraffin bath volume Average paraffin melting time REAGENT BOTTLES Number of reagent bottles Reagent bottle volume Clean cycle bottles OTHERS Display Reagent Management System Remote fill and drain system Remote paraffin drain system Reagent drip tray 3. 5" disc drive Two external alarm connections Parallel printer port Serial port Approvals 10 4. 3 liters each 3, plus 1 external 300 cassettes 252 cassettes stainless steel optical sensors 4. 3 liters 40­65 °C ambient, 30­55 °C +/­ 1 °C selectable (80, 120, 140 seconds), 3 steps 4 (V/P, V, P, Ambient) ­ 70 kPa (g) +35 kPa (g) 12 minutes 20 minutes 0­99 hours, 59 minutes programmable, up to one week Color touchscreen, solvent-resistant · · · · · · · · The Leica ASP300 S has been designed and manufactured in compliance with, CSA-us, c-CSA and IEC requirements.
