How it really works
Automate processing up to microtomy
No need for you to interrupt your skilled work to operate the Sakura instruments. Put your focus on more valuable tasks, leading to higher productivity.
After the Xpress x120 has loaded via SmartConnect, the automated tissue processing starts
After processing in the x120, SmartConnect autonomously transfers the magazines to the a120 embedder
The AutoTEC a120 will embed the cassettes automatically after SmartConnect has loaded them
In the end, SmartConnect provides standardised, embedded, high-quality blocks ready for microtomy
Automated embedding ot conventionally processed tissue
The System enables you to load conventionally processed tissue into the
transfer area at any time.
Optimise your workflow
