Sakura Finetek today announces the launch of the Tissue-Tek^®VIP^® 6 AI Tissue Processor.

The Tissue-Tek VIP 6 AI, provides the next level in reliability and safety from Tissue-Tek VIP processors and is a great investment for superior quality tissue processing, enabling easy and accurate diagnosis. Confidence that the required result can be produced first time, every time comes from generation after generation of gold standard technology producing the latest outstandingly reliable VIP. Exceptional patient sample safety in addition to user safety has been paramount in the VIP 6 AI’s development.

“Building on Generations of VIP processors, laboratories can be assured of receiving the reliability they expect in a VIP, whilst experiencing the confidence of producing blocks of ultimate quality when using the certified processing protocols that come with the VIP 6 AI. This will reduce the cost of rework associated with poor processing and enables easier, accurate diagnosis of the patient. ”, said Chris Koeman, President of Sakura Finetek Europe B.V.

VIP – Ultimate Quality

Enabling the laboratory to get the right result, the first time, allows the laboratory to reduce costs by eliminating rework. A series of certified protocols has been designed to achieve the superior block quality required to get the right result first time, even in the notoriously difficult fatty tissue specimens. The protocols cover both xylene and xylene-free based protocols for biopsies, routine overnight and fatty specimens. Reduced processing time for fatty tissue specimens ensures that also these specimens fit within the smooth workflow of the laboratory.

VIP – Outstanding Reliability

Sakura has further enhanced reliability with the introduction of iSupport for the VIP 6 AI. This real time remote monitoring system will enhance the speed at which a system can be repaired in the unexpected event of a failure. This also reduces the adverse impact of an instrument failure on the laboratory by increasing the uptime rate on the systems.
