10 mixing modes
Effective yet gentle reagent agitation for excellent reagent penetration

2 bulk reservoirs
Convenient additional storage of fresh reagent with each holding up to 10.4 litres

Automatic onboard mixing of reagents
Mixed reagent solutions enhance dehydration and defatting without extending protocols times, and automatically mixing specified reagents from the 2 bulk reservoirs onboard to create the mixed reagent solutions saves time and reduces opportunities for human error

Solution Manager
Monitors reagent levels during operation and provides fresh reagent from the 2 bulk reagent reservoirs if needed for safe and worry-free processing

Automatic solution transfer
Enables in-process transfer of up to two reagents and the paraffin to significantly reduce maintenance, saving both time and money

Paraffin waste container
Makes the exchange and proper disposal of used paraffin safe, clean, and easy

Automatic bottle check
Verifies that all bottles are properly connected BEFORE a run starts to prevent errors before they happen
