ASP6025 Tissue Processor

5.    Operation

5.3.1  Display of the program list

A maximum of 20 programs, each with up to 
12 reagent steps and three paraffin processing 
steps, can be defined.

At supervisor access level:

•   The program names for the infiltration 

programs can be edited.

•   New infiltration programs can be added and 

existing ones can be deleted.

Fig. 158

The 

VIEW/EDIT USER PROGRAMS

 window (

Fig. 158

) displays a list of all freely 

editable programs currently defined in the ASP6025.

Program duration cannot be specified. It is determined by the total duration of all program steps, 
plus the estimated fill and drain times. To alter the duration of a program, the duration of one or 
more individual program steps has to be modified.

5.3  Infiltration programs

New infiltration programs are created by copying an existing program and then 

modifying it accordingly. Therefore, the list must contain at least one program 

at all times.

The retort cleaning programs are also preset. 

They cannot be renamed, added, modified or deleted.
