Leica ASP200 S

Superior Specimen Quality, Every Time!

The New Automated Vacuum Tissue Processor

The Leica ASP200 set a new standard for specimen quality and reliability in automated tissue processing. Ongoing research and development work with enhanced processes and system components now reflects the latest in state-of-the-art technology: The New Leica ASP200 S.

The new Leica ASP200 S, designed for routine clinical and research histopathology, is an innovative, smart, fully enclosed processor for paraffin infiltration of tissue. Proven, enhanced technology and Leica´s intuitive user interface are hallmarks of ASP200 S. Straightforward routine user operations and a variety of ´Smart´ features, such as Leica´s Reagent Management System (RMS) and quick start for commonly used programs, improve specimen quality and laboratory economy. Leica´s application of state-of the art engineering and manufacturing technology, combined with top quality components, continues to bring superior specimen processing to your laboratory.
