Imagine... fully automated embedding with the highest quality blocks
Image
The Tissue-Tek AutoTEC a120 is an automated embedding system to enhance laboratory performance. Maximise your laboratory's productivity, while reporting better turnaround times and consistent quality, using the same resources.
Image
Together with the Tissue-Tek Xpress® x120 Continuous Rapid Tissue Processor, the AutoTEC a120 will provide predictable high performance in turnaround time.
Image
Using the unique Tissue-Tek® Paraform® Cassette System the orientation remains locked, for all routine tissue types, from grossing to microtomy, preserving your tissue sample. No more orientation mistakes, mix up or loss of tissue. 
Image
By automating the embedding process, the produced blocks will be of the highest and most consistent quality. Due to this superb quality, there is no need for further cleaning or scraping of the blocks.
