Reagent names are labels prepared in advance. They do not have an
influence on the process. They are listed for the convenience of the user so
that you can define which solutions to use for each step
T i m e
The time for each step can be set from 0 to 12 hours, in 5 minute intervals. If
a time of 0 hours and 0 minutes is set, the step will be ignored even if the
other parameters (temperature and vacuum) are set. The time includes the
reagent filling and emptying process.

The selectable reagent temperature range is: Ambient - 45° C
The selectable paraffin temperature range is: 52 - 60° C
P / V
The Pressure/Vacuum
P/V
field allows you to select the following options:
A = ambient pressure
V = vacuum approx. 700mBar below ambient
P = pressure approx. 250mBar above the ambient pressure
P/V = an alternating cycle with an 8 minute frequency of pressure and vacuum
Varying the pressure in the Retort facilitates reagent infiltration into tissue
specimens. The following
P/V
settings are recommended:
Biopsies = vacuum or ambient pressure
Samples of normal size = vacuum in every station
Mix of biopsies and normal samples = vacuum in every station
Large samples = cycles of pressure and vacuum in every station
It is never recommended to simultaneously process samples of vastly
different sizes.
