The HistoCore Arcadia modular tissue embedding system incorporates two separate components, the Arcadia H heated embedding module and the Arcadia C cold plate. The independent modules offer the flexibility to arrange the embedding workflow in the direction that best suits your laboratory. The HistoCore Arcadia H paraffin dispenser allows for simple operation and precise control, resulting in improved quality, a smooth workflow, reliability and speed of your embedding work. HistoCore Arcadia C is a cold plate holding more than 60/65 cassettes on its large working surface. Cooling efficiency is important, so the cold plate was designed with an environment adaptive control module to make sure the operating temperature is always stabilized at -6 °C. Product Features HistoCore Arcadia H - Heated Paraffin Embedding Station The HistoCore Arcadia H allows for simple operation and precise control, resulting in improved quality, a smooth workflow, reliability and speed of your embedding work. Features include wristpads for increased comfort and stability; an improved magnifier for small biopsy embedding; and an LCD touchscreen for increased control and monitoring of the instrument. HistoCore Arcadia C - Cold Plate HistoCore Arcadia C is a cold plate holding more than 60/65 cassettes on its large working surface. Cooling efficiency is important, so the cold plate was designed with an environment adaptive control module to make sure the operating temperature is always stabilized at -6 °C. There is no need to turn down the temperature in summer or worry about too fast cooling in winter. The Arcadia C cold plate can be used as a stand-alone unit for re-cooling blocks prior to sectioning or as part of an embedding center to cool molds after paraffin dispensing.

Q: BOND Polymer Refine Detection

Bond III Highest Productivity IHC- ISH staining available Bond Compact Polymer Refine Detection System – Intense. High-Resolution IHC - ISH Staining. BOND Polymer Refine Detection PRODUCT ID: BOND-POLYMER-REFINE-DETECTION A state-of-the-art Compact Polymer detection system for use in both immunohistochemistry and chromogenic in situ hybridization. Small multifunctional linkers enhance tissue penetration, producing unsurpassed sensitivity. The system is biotin-free. BOND Polymer Refine Detection contains a peroxide block, post-primary, polymer reagent, DAB chromogen and hematoxylin counterstain. It is supplied ready-to-use for the automated BOND system. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Primary antibody binding to tissue sections can be visualized using BOND Polymer Refine Detection, where it provides intense, high-resolution staining. A range of BOND ready-to-use primary antibodies are available, or alternatively, use antibody concentrates diluted with BOND Primary Antibody Diluent (AR9352). Chromogenic in Situ Hybridization (ISH) BOND Polymer Refine Detection produces highly specific, sensitive and reproducible demonstration of nucleic acid sequences through controlled hybridization reactions. BOND ready-to-use ISH probes (fluorescein/biotin labelled along with Anti-Fluorescein/biotin secondary antibodies) are used in conjunction with BOND Polymer Refine Detection to produce perfectly tuned, optimized ISH staining results on the BOND system.

Q: Leica IP C Inkjet Printer for Tissue Cassettes

The Leica IP C has been designed for versatile printing of tissue cassettes, including cassettes with lids and two different imprint angles. A patented ink, specially designed for Leica Microsystems, makes imprints resistant to chemical exposure and physical wear. Whether alphanumeric characters, barcodes or logos, the print resolution is always excellent with good legibility. A specific advantage of barcode imprints is the tracking possibility of the sample within the complete histology workflow and additionally the reliable archiving with quick and accurate case identification. An optional external cassette magazine holder is available for easy and convenient loading of pre-taped cassettes. Product Features Barcode printed cassette Barcode printed cassette used for tracking supports reduction of human error through automation and traceability. Ink-jet technology The patented ink-jet technology using chemical resistant ink can accommodate a broad range of chemicals for processing without dissolving the printed labeling. Automated unload station The optional automated unload station has 10 trays, each of which holds up to 10 cassettes, automates the manual process and helps to reduce human error (e.g. mixing up sequence of cassettes). Batch job printing Batch job printing: 15 cassettes/minute; single-cassette printing: 10 sec per cassette; for high throughput and optimized workflow. LIS integration Designed for LIS integration, single PC, or multiple-user PC workstations, where several printers can be connected to one PC.

Q: Leica VT1000 S Vibrating Blade Microtome

The Leica VT1000 S vibrating blade microtome is the instrument of choice for high-quality sectioning requirements in neurophysiology, neuropathology experimental pathology), Botany (roots and plants) and Industry (foams). When sectioning fixed tissue for specific neuropathology tests the Leica VT1000 S consistently provides high-quality sectioning results. Can alter the frequency and amplitude To quickly accommodate different application needs, a user can alter the frequency between 0 and 100Hz and select the appropriate amplitude between 0.2 to 1mm in 0.2mm steps. Fully automated cut mode Accelerate the sectioning process: the Leica VT1000 S features a high-speed knife return stroke of 5 mm/sec as well as a freely programmable sectioning window which ensures extremely quick sectioning of even the smallest specimens. Adjustable knife advance speed The instrument features a very fine adjustable knife advance speed between 0.025 to 2.5mm/s, a programmable sectioning window, and specimen retraction. High quality sectioning An adjustable specimen retraction feature protects the specimen from damage during the return stroke of the knife.
