A worldwide unique technique

Myr Spin Tissue Processor STP 120 fulfills it in a patented and unique technique that combines several movements for the tissue to achieve perfect infiltration results. This is possible thanks to the world’s best spin processing method.

The cassettes are placed in a basket that is immersed in the container holding the reagent. In this position, the basket rotates at 60 rpm, changing direction every 60 seconds. The interaction between the fluids and the tissue allows for a homogeneous mixture and reduces processing times.

For even better results, the STP-120 also performs vertical agitation. Activated from the control panel, this step raises and lowers the basket inside the container without stopping the previous horizontal agitation. This creates a helical motion that significantly enhances the mixing between the reagent and the tissue.

This function is activated as soon as the infiltration time comes to an end. The basket rises above the reagent’s level but rests inside the vessel. For a period of 60 seconds, it starts whirling at 210 rpm and changes the rotational direction every 15 seconds. This process allows the tissue to be optimally drained and avoids carry-over of reagents from one vessel to another.

With this method you achieve similar results to those obtained with vacuum systems!

Ergonomic control panel

The control panel keys are ergonomically arranged to facilitate handling. The LCD display shows all process parameters. The user can configure up to 10 different programs on the instrument. Programs can be started in immediate or delayed mode.

The keypad can be locked to prevent unintended changes caused by accidental key presses.

Maximum safety standards for the specimen

Emergency movements can be performed via the built-in battery. An emergency stop button is also available. It is possible to interrupt a program for reloading and early sample retrieval.

In the event of a power failure, the system prevents samples from drying out. Thanks to the battery, the samples are automatically positioned inside the container. Once power is restored, the instrument resumes operation at the point it was interrupted.

If the interruption is prolonged and the paraffin solidifies, a safety program is activated to halt the process until the baths are liquefied again, allowing the transition to the paraffin baths to proceed.

If the samples remain in the containers longer than programmed, the display will show the station number and the time exceeded in relation to the programmed time.

Easy handling and maximum safety standard for the user

STP Fan with filter - The four wheels at the bottom of the unit allow it to be easily rotated, providing convenient access to the reagent containers.

The lids of each glass minimize vapor emissions, and two versions (STP120-2 and STP120-3) incorporate a fan with filter.
