Sakura Finetek VIP-5-Jr-JO Automated Closed-System Tissue Fixation and Embedding Device

The Sakura Finetek VIP-5-Jr-JO is an automated, closed-system tissue fixation and paraffin embedding device designed for histology laboratories requiring high-throughput sample processing. It can handle up to 150 tissue cassettes simultaneously, optimizing workflow in pathology and molecular diagnostics settings. Key features include:

• Automated processing of up to 150 cassettes with efficient closed-system fixation to reduce contamination risk and enhance sample integrity.
• Advanced pressure/vacuum (P/V) cycle functionality repeatedly applies pressurization and depressurization to improve reagent infiltration, critical for consistent tissue fixation in biotechnology and biomedical engineering research.
• Integrated agitation system providing pump-in and pump-out stirring actions configurable for each reagent tank enhances chemical penetration and uniformity.
• Compact footprint with dimensions of 500 mm (W) × 605 mm (D) × 1195 mm (H) and a robust weight of approximately 115 kg ensures stable operation.
• Operates on standard AC 100V power supply with 8.5A current rating, compatible with most laboratory power standards.

This device is widely adopted among molecular diagnostics and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where reliable, automated embedding and fixation processes are essential for tissue sample preparation. Suitable for use in clinical diagnostics, synthetic biology, and research labs focusing on live-cell imaging and histopathology. Sold as used equipment, preserving core functionalities but requiring verification of current operational conditions.

This model supports laboratory workflows needing streamlined, reproducible tissue processing critical for gene editing and bioprocessing environments, making it a valuable tool in advanced histology automation and biomanufacturing pipelines.
