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.

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:

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.

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:

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 its obviously seen usage over the years, it will continue to perform well for a long time yet.

Its the premium performance at our pre-owned price that makes this unit a worthwhile investment.
