EMS Rapid Pro Kit Protocols

EMS Catalog #: 26750-Series

Protocols for Automatic Processing Machines

General approach is 1 min of each station from 1 to 7 per 1x1mm of tissue thickness(size), so if tissue is 1x1mm it should be kept in every station for 1 minutes(see below)

In case you want to perform even faster microscopic analysis of the specimen you can increase the temperature of all Stations (steps) from 1 to 7.

Temperature of all Stations (1-7) with processing solutions should be kept at 46-50° Celsius.

Temperature of paraffin stations should be kept at 60° Celsius.

In case of troubleshooting, please refer to routine formalin processing adjusting to processor time
