[1] Assembling basket and setting specimens
Prepare the supplied basket to be used in processing.
1. Attach dividers into the basket.
2. Put the tissue slices into the cassette, put the cassette
lid on, and put the cassette in the basket.
4. Attach the lid on the basket.
5. Hold the basket handles and set the basket in the
retort.
Once the basket has been set in the retort,
collapse the handles.
[2] Setting the basket and starting tissue processing
Touching Confirm in the Confirm Start window displays a
message window of the set specimens.
1. Slide the retort lock lever to the right and unlock the
hook locking that retort lid.
2. Open the retort lid.
3. Hold the handles of the basket containing the
specimens, and set the basket in the retort.
4. Close the retort lid and lock the retort lid with the hook.
5. Slide the retort lock lever to the left and touch START
to start processing. If tissue processing will not be
performed or if you want to check the program details
again, touch EXIT. The Confirm Start window appears
again.
An unusual setting, such as setting one cassette on the first basket and one cassette on the second
basket, may result in the top of the specimens set on the upper basket not submerged in the solution. If
there are fewer than 150 cassettes, use only one basket.
If tissue processing does not start 30 seconds after this window opened, a warning buzzer will sound and
the message "Starting tissue process. Set the specimens, and touch START" blinks. Thereafter, the
warning buzzer will sound intermittently at 5-second intervals until START is touched.
Once the START button input is accepted and processing starts, you are automatically logged off.
Under the processing program that starts from paraffin, the preheating time before paraffin is filled is
longer. Specimens may become dry if set before the fill, so pause the processing after paraffin has been
filled and set specimens.
