EM TP Automated Tissue Processor

Description

The EM TP Automated Tissue Processor by Leica Microsystems handles the resin infiltration and embedding stages necessary for preparing samples for both electron microscopy (EM) and light microscopy (LM). A key technical feature is its integrated heating and cooling system, which includes a pre-heat function. This thermal control allows for precise adjustment of resin viscosity and polymerization kinetics during processing. By automating the multi-step protocol of dehydration, infiltration, and embedding, the instrument aims to standardize these procedures, thereby improving reproducibility and the overall quality of samples destined for sectioning and imaging.
