Tissue Processor by Centrifugation (Vacuum) YR07025

The vacuum centrifugation tissue processor YR07025 automates the stages of preparing histological samples for pathology laboratories, hospitals, diagnostic centers, and research. Its 12-station carousel includes 9 containers for 2.3 L reagents and 3 paraffin containers of 2.1 L. The vacuum agitation system, with a maximum pressure difference of 0.05 MPa, facilitates contact of the samples with the reagents during processing.

The equipment incorporates Mitsubishi PLC control, a 7-inch LCD screen, and 10 selectable programs. It allows separate configuration of the time for each station, from 0 to 999 minutes per container, and programming infiltration times of up to 30 days per station. The temperature of the paraffin is adjustable between 60 and 99 °C, with customization options. The standard basket processes up to 135 cassettes; with the optional basket, capacity can reach 270 cassettes. The movement of the basket, at intervals of one minute every five minutes, helps maintain contact of the samples with the reagents.

Market Price

The price depends on capacity, vacuum system, number of baskets, electrical backup options, service, and shipping destination. In the public offers consulted, comparable tissue processors appear approximately between USD 3,400 and USD 14,500; 12-station rotary models with vacuum and 2.3 L containers are found in some listings around USD 7,400–14,000. These are published references, not an offer for the YR07025, and may exclude transportation, taxes, installation, and accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many samples does it process?
The standard basket accommodates up to 135 cassettes; the optional basket allows processing up to 270.

Can a different protocol be configured for each station?
Yes. Times are programmed separately, and the equipment offers 10 selectable programs. It also allows editing programs during processing.

What happens if the electricity is interrupted?
The backup battery is optional. Depending on the configuration and usage conditions, the specification indicates that a power supply can maintain certain functions for 4–16 hours. It is advisable to confirm the backup included in the quote.

Does the equipment include UPS as standard?
No. The specification indicates that the backup battery is optional.

Advantages

Among its advantages are the automation of cycles, flexible programming, the capacity of the optional basket, and the temperature control of the paraffin. The screen displays the stages of the process, and the anti-collision braking device protects the hanging basket.

As aspects to consider, the equipment weighs 72 kg and requires space, compatible power supply —220 V or 110 V, depending on the configuration— and proper management of reagents and paraffin. The 270 cassette basket and the backup battery are options, so it is important to confirm what is included in the offer.

Product Use in the Field

In daily work, staff loads the cassettes into the basket, prepares the reagents and paraffin in the corresponding containers, selects or configures the program, and checks the parameters before starting the cycle. The YR07025 can be integrated into the histology workflow to process samples intended for paraffin block preparation and subsequent microscopic analysis. The selection of reagents, times, and sequence must be adjusted to the protocol validated by the laboratory and the type of tissue.

Recommendations

To obtain consistent results, follow the manufacturer's instructions and the laboratory's internal procedures. Periodically check the containers, connections, and basket; keep the equipment surface clean and check the battery status if requested as an option.

Before purchasing, confirm the voltage, required basket, electrical backup, included accessories, installation dimensions, and transportation conditions. To know the updated price and the suitable configuration for your laboratory, request a quote.
