LABORATORY MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY
LabPulse, Laboratory Microwave Processors
WILL:
-
Fix, Process, Stain, and Decalcify tissue, in a fraction of the time of any other method or Microwave Processor.
​​​
-
Provide greater throughput than any other Microwave processor on the market for samples up to 3mm.
​​​
-
Reduce reagent use.
​​​
-
Eliminate the need for Xylene in your processing.
​​​
-
Allow a 50% reduction in your use of Xylene and Alcohol for H&E staining.
​​​
-
Open the door to using many safe and environmentally friendly alternative fixatives and clearing agents.
​​​
-
Provide an opportunity to drastically improve the quality of your fatty tissue processing.
LabPulse, Laboratory Microwave Processors
WILL NOT:
​
-
Reduce slide quality in any way.
​​​
-
Damage or degrade specimen antigenicity.
​​​
-
Adversely impact IHC or molecular downstream testing.
​​​
-
Slow or disrupt your Lab’s workflow.
COST SAVINGS
LabPulse Microwaves process tissue far more efficiently and cost-effectively than any other Tissue Processor.
​
-
Reagent Use: The amount of reagent used is directly proportional to the volume of samples being processed.
​
-
No Xylene: Beyond Fixation, LabPulse Microwave Processors use only Alcohols and Paraffin to process tissue with no Xylene clearing steps required.
​​​
-
Flexibility: LabPulse Microwave Processors perform the following critical Lab Functions, all in a fraction of the time required by conventional methods.​​​
-
Fixation
-
Dehydration
-
Infiltration
-
Special Stains
-
Immunohistochemistry
-
Slide Drying
-
Antigen Retrieval
-
Decalcifications
TIME SAVINGS
LabPulse Microwave Tissue Processors are the fastest Processors on the market, period.
-
Only a LabPulse Microwave Tissue Processor can process 74 biopsies in < 20 minutes. No other Tissue Processor even comes close.
​​​
-
Automation does not necessarily equal speed.
​​​
-
LabPulse's patented Polar Heat Sheets allow ultra-fast Microwave paraffin infiltration.
TIME SAVING EXAMPLES:
Fixed Small Biopsies: GI, prostate, cervical material, etc:
Routine Specimens 1-3mm thick (with Preserve® Fixation Step)
TRADITIONAL vs. MICROWAVE DECALCIFICATION TIMES
One potential method for decreasing the overall processing time for bone specimens involves the use of microwave decalcification. The table below shows traditional vs. microwave decalcification times of various bone types from a recent study by Experimental Pathology Laboratories Inc. The goal of this study was to determine the shortest microwave times that would provide adequate decalcification without compromising tissue quality.
