Myr Spin Tissue Processor STP 120 has been developed to meet the requirements of every single laboratory. The technology and the unique processing method of the STP 120 qualifies it as the most successful Spin Tissue Processors ever. With more than 3.500 units installed around the world confirms its leading position. Documentation A worldwide unique technique Tissue processing is a technique than uses alcohols to remove water from tissues and replace it with a medium that allows sectioning of tissue. Several methods are used to achieve this. Myr Spin Tissue Processor STP 120 fulfills it in a patented and unique technique that combines several movements for the tissue to achieve perfect infiltration results. This is possible thanks to the world’s best spin processing method. ROTATIONAL AGITATION The basket with the cassettes is immersed into the reagent vessel. In this position, the basket turns at 60 rpm and changes the rotational direction every 60 seconds. The rotational agitation achieves a perfect infiltration of tissue, a homogeneous mixture of the reagents and a reduction of processing time. To get better results, the user can start optionally a shaking process. SHAKING This movement can be optionally activated on the control panel and allows the basket to perform an up-down movement inside the vessel that combined with the rotational agitation fulfills a helicoidal movement that increases infiltration quality at a high degree of precision. At the end of this process, baskets start centrifuging. CENTRIFUGING This function is activated as soon as the infiltration time comes to an end. The basket rises above the reagent’s level but rests inside the vessel.
