The specimens are processed in the stainless steel retort (19) at
the preselected pressure, vacuum, and temperature conditions.
There are nine system bottles (15) with a maximum filling
volume of 5 l in the reagent cabinet.
Additionally there are six RTU-bottles (10) housed in a separate
drawer (9) on the right side of the instrument.
(For additional information, refer to
Chapter 4.4.7, Fig. 44 ).
Three paraffin baths, the paraffin station, and the retort
comprise the infiltration module.
Above it is the touchscreen with a USB port on the side and the
electronic components.
All electrical ports and the electronic interfaces are located on
the rear side of the instrument (
Chapter 3.4.2, Fig. 3 ).
The cassettes to be processed are stored in three baskets (21),
each of which can hold up to 100 cassettes. If the baskets are
used with inserts (spirals), each basket can hold 80 cassettes.
