Solution configuration display area
A solution configuration diagram of the program currently selected is displayed. The solution configuration
diagram consists of the stations listed below. Refer to p. 1-22 for their positions, etc.
・ Reagent stations (Station numbers 1 ~ 10) ・ Paraffin stations (Station numbers 11 ~ 14)
・ Cleaning Xylene station (Station number C1) ・ Cleaning alcohol station (Station number C2)
The station number, processing time and solution name are shown at each station. Each station is shown in the
color preregistered for the solution group.
A caution icon is displayed depending on the condition of each station.
Pause button
Touching Pause pauses the processing.
Touching Pause not only stops the tissue processing, but it also resumes the tissue processing, allows for
temporary program edit and paraffin melt check, and aborts the tissue processing. When Pause is touched while
the instrument is waiting for delayed start, you can also start the processing immediately or change the end time.
Pausing the processing causes the predicted endtime to be delayed by the duration of pause, so the processing
may no longer end by the previously predicted end time. Refer to p. 2-15 for details.
Predicted Endtime
The date/time the tissue processing is predicted to end is displayed.
Station colors: When the instrument is standing by, the stations
are shown in the color set for the solution group.
During processing, only the station where
processing is actually performed is shown in blue.
