Like all of our tissue processors here at New Life Scientific, this Sakura VIP 2000 has been inspected and tested by our technical staff and is ready for years of reliable service. There is some wear on this processor, but it functions flawlessly.
It is has a set of reagent bottles, all four paraffin tanks, program magnet and attached power cable. It also comes with a 90-day warranty so you can have confidence in each step of the process from packaging the instrument at our facility to operating the instrument in your laboratory.
Timeless Design That Still Holds Up
This tissue processor is in good physical condition overall with some noticeable wear on the exterior, including some chipping paints, scuffs, and scratches as shown in the photos. This system looks good for its age and is built to last for many more years of continued use.
It’s in “Excellent working condition,” Noted Technician
Our technician tested this tissue processor according to our standard testing procedure by putting it through complete processing functions in manual and programmed modes, including:
- Pumping fluids
- Draining fluids
- Cleaning cycles
- Hot and cold cycles
- Long and short cycles
The rotary valve was cleaned by running multiple fluid cycles and alcohol through all ports. We ran 2 dozen complete cycles, including maximum heat cycle to making sure everything will function under normal operating conditions.
Seals on the reagent bottles, ovens, and retort were cleaned and checked for leaks and blockages, finishing by flushing the system with alcohol to clean the lines before storage.
Comes with Reagent Bottles and Paraffin Tanks
Reagent bottles, 4 paraffin tanks, and programming magnet are included with this tissue processor. Activated carbon filter bottle and baskets will need to be acquired separately.
The following is included with this system:
- Reagent Bottles
- 4x Paraffin Tanks
- Programming magnet
- Attached Power Cable
It’s a Tried and True Instrument
Tissue-Teks are certainly an older series than some competition. Their longevity testifies of one thing: reliability. Tissue-Teks are robust workhorses and the VIP 2000 is no exception. Though it’s obviously seen usage over the years, it will continue to perform well for a long time yet.
It’s the premium performance at our pre-owned price that makes this unit a worthwhile investment.
