Used Tissue-Tek Xpress® x120 Rapid Tissue Processor
The Tissue-Tek Xpress x120 is a proven rapid tissue processor designed to transform histology workflows through true continuous processing. Unlike traditional batch processors, the Xpress x120 allows cases to be loaded throughout the day, ensuring safe tissue handling, balanced workloads, and faster turnaround times without compromising quality.
Utilizing advanced low-wattage microwave technology, molecular-friendly reagents, and traditional vacuum infiltration, the Xpress x120 delivers consistent, high-quality tissue processing in record time. Standard programs can complete processing in approximately one hour, with the ability to load up to 40 cassettes every 20 minutes, allowing laboratories to distribute cases evenly and avoid workflow bottlenecks.
Beyond biopsies, the Xpress x120 excels at rapid processing of larger tissue specimens. What typically takes 8 hours on a conventional processor can be completed in as little as 2.5 hours, saving up to 5.5 hours while producing comparable results for H&E and IHC. Faster processing means slides reach the pathologist sooner, enabling same-day diagnoses, reduced patient anxiety, and improved clinical efficiency.
The Xpress x120 reagent system is uniquely formulated for safety, efficiency, and cost savings. With less than 16 liters of onboard reagents capable of processing up to 1,500 cassettes, laboratories can significantly reduce reagent inventory and cut waste by up to 80%. Ready-to-use, no-dilution reagents eliminate bottle handling and placement errors, saving valuable technician time. Additionally, the reagents are formalin- and xylene-free, helping lower waste management costs while promoting a safer laboratory environment.
Whether supporting H&E, special stains, immunohistochemistry, or molecular testing, the Tissue-Tek Xpress x120 delivers tissue quality equal to or better than conventional processors in a fraction of the time. When paired with continuous automated embedding systems, it becomes a powerful solution for laboratories seeking the fastest achievable turnaround times and a more efficient, daytime-focused workflow.
