1. Safety Precautions
(o)
WARNING
Confirm that the lids of containers (cassettes, etc.) in which tissues have been stored
are securely closed. Also, verify beforehand that the lids of containers (cassettes, etc.)
will not open during processing with the instrument.
If low-quality cassettes are used, their lids may open during processing and the tissues may fly out. Select
cassettes carefully. Also, thoroughly verify the cassettes being used, to prevent serious trouble. It is
recommended that cassettes manufactured by Sakura Finetek be used.
Use a type of cassette appropriate for the tissue size. Tissues may not be properly
processed depending on the cassette.
If tissues are too large or thick for the cassette in which they are stored, permeation failure may occur. If the
cassette type is not appropriate, tissues (especially micro-tissues) may be lost.
Carry baskets with care.
If a basket drops, the lid may open and the tissues may be lost. Use the supplied basket transport tray
when carrying baskets.
Be sure to put tissues in containers (cassettes, etc.) and put an ID on each container so
that the tissue information can be identified. Also confirm that the combination of each
container (cassette, etc.) and tissues is correct.
When storing tissues in a container (cassette, etc.), write down a short name or comment identifying the
tissue information on the container (cassette, etc.). Be sure to do this to prevent serious trouble.
Verify beforehand that the letters written or printed on the containers (cassettes, etc.) in
which tissues are stored will not be erased or fade during processing. Also verify
beforehand that the attached labels will not peel during processing.
If inks or labels not resistant to the reagent are used, the printed letters may be erased or fade or the labels
may peel after processing. The same thing may occur when inks or labels having low resistant to heat or
pressure are used. Serious trouble may occur when the printed letters become illegible, so use inks that will
remain the tissue information permanently legible or labels that will not peel.
Before processing tissues, conduct a test operation to confirm the tissue quality
beforehand.
Check the processing program before the operation. If processed with a wrong
program, the tissues may be damaged.
A wrong operation may interrupt the tissue processing or edit the program to a wrong one. If the processing
is started with a wrong program, the tissues may be damaged; read this manual carefully and use the
instrument correctly.
