3. Instrument Components and Specifications
• Harmful reagent vapors are continuously suctioned back from the infiltration chamber into the
instrument and filtered even after the chamber is opened, e.g. to reload cassettes or baskets.
• All solvent vapors are transferred to the external vacuum extractor via a separate port on the
rear of the instrument.
• Cover of the infiltration chamber with integral viewing window to allow visual check of the fill
level and specimen baskets.
• The infiltration chamber is capable of holding up to 100, 200 or 300 standard cassettes depending
on whether it is operated with one, two or three baskets.
• This function is assured by 4 optical level sensors inside the infiltration chamber, which has a
maximum capacity of 4.8 liters.
• Optionally, the Leica ASP6025 can also be operated with reagent volumes of 3.8 liters or 5 liters.
In the first mode, the operator can choose between one and two basket operation, and in 5 liter
mode between one, two or three basket operation.
• RemoteCare Internet connection between the Leica ASP6025 and the Service Support Team
enables optimized service through permanent monitoring of instrument functions.
• Infiltration chamber with single-hand safety catch and locking device with a switch, so that it
can be opened (during a program sequence) when the ambient pressure has been reached.
• Multilingual user interface, graphic display of the program flow (= SMART SCREEN), and
contextual online help are available for clarifying all menu steps.
• Access to the instrument can be limited via a multilevel password protection system.
• Two programs for cleaning the infiltration chamber can be supplemented with a water rinsing
step.
