Description
The HistoCore PEARL tissue processor is a fully enclosed system that automates the preparation of tissue samples for laboratory testing. This includes the steps of fixing, dehydrating, clearing and infiltrating tissues with paraffin. Designed for both safety and efficiency, it features advanced fume protection and can handle up to 200 cassettes per run. Its pre-validated processing protocols are highly customizable, allowing adjustments to meet the specific requirements of different tissue types or specimens. This versatility enables the protocols to be fine-tuned for optimal results with each kind of tissue. As a significant asset to ASU research, the HistoCore PEARL enhances the quality of outcomes compared to manual processing. Its automated capabilities ensure consistent, reproducible results and offer a quicker turnaround time, thereby improving overall research efficiency.
