Automated Tissue Processor LATP-B21

Labtron’s Automated Tissue Processor LATP-B21 is primarily used for preparing biological tissue samples for microscopic analysis. It automates the critical processes of dehydration, clearing, and paraffin infiltration, which are essential before embedding tissues in wax blocks. This ensures consistent, reproducible results and saves technicians significant time and effort, making it a vital instrument in pathology labs, hospitals, research institutes, and academic facilities.

Our Automated Tissue Processor LATP-B21 is equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery system that provides 4 to 6 hours of backup operation in the event of a power failure. During an outage, the tissue basket is automatically redirected to a protective cylinder rather than entering an inactive wax cylinder. This intelligent feature prevents thermal damage or incomplete processing, ensuring sample integrity is preserved and workflow is not interrupted.

The last three tanks in Automated Tissue Processor LATP-B21 are dedicated to paraffin wax infiltration, which is crucial for thoroughly impregnating tissue with wax before embedding. Multiple wax tanks allow progressive infiltration, improving paraffin penetration into dense tissues. This staged process enhances the structural integrity of the tissue blocks, reduces shrinkage or artifact formation, and leads to better sectioning results in microtomy.

Unlike traditional systems that rely on water-based heating, the Automated Tissue Processor LATP-B21 uses a waterless, dual-control heating system. This approach minimizes water usage and optimizes power consumption by maintaining only necessary thermal zones at operational temperatures. Combined with its intelligent program control, this results in lower operational costs and reduced environmental impact over long-term use.

Our Automated Tissue Processor LATP-B21 is built for durability and reliability with a gear and rack transmission mechanism, reducing the likelihood of mechanical failure. Its intelligent control system automates multiple functions, reducing manual intervention and error. With support for up to 16 editable programs, it offers versatility for different sample types, making it a cost-effective and future-proof choice for growing lab operations.
