Leica Microsystems has announced the release of
s that is
focused on improving quality, laboratory productivity and, most importantly,
patient safety.
Tissue processors,
such as the new Leica ASP6025, play a critical role in histology laboratories
where a patient's tissue samples are prepared for disease diagnosis, especially
where cancer is suspected. As nearly all patient samples in the histology
laboratory pass through the tissue processor, the primary focus of the new
Leica ASP6025 is to ensure that specimens receive high quality processing with
utmost protection and care for each specimen.
According to Arnd Kaldowski, President of Leica
Biosystems, "Patient safety should never be compromised. The new Leica ASP6025
focuses on protecting patient specimens as damaged biopsies mean a patient
needs additional surgery or that diagnosis is compromised. This is why we have
made sure the Leica ASP6025 provides exceptional quality while ensuring patient
tissue is always looked after".
As well as providing the exceptional processing
quality needed for accurate diagnosis, the Leica ASP6025 incorporates a range
of innovative features for specimen safety. These include a battery backup
system that protects the specimens even during a complete power failure and the
simple addition of a glass window that allows a quick visual check of specimens
during processing. Also, Leica RemoteCare remote 24 hour monitoring helps
identify problems before they damage tissue.
Along with the specimen safety features, the Leica
ASP6025 also helps modern laboratories ensure high-productivity while
protecting staff. Its rapid processing capabilities ensure fast turnaround
times while a host of productivity innovations reduce upkeep time. Laboratory staff
can also breathe easily thanks to a xylene-free processing option, contact-free
remote fill and drain, and a unique system that draws fumes away for the
operator when the processor's lid is opened.
Part of Leica Microsystems'
Total
Histology Solutions, the Leica ASP6025 processor is now available worldwide
through Leica Microsystems extensive sales and service network who can also
assist with a complete range of tissue processing consumables including
cassettes,
paraffin
wax and
reagents.
