The Tissue-Tek Xpress x120 rapid tissue processor is the only rapid tissue processor that allows continuous processing to ensure safe tissue handling and streamline the histology workflow.  

The Tissue-Tek Xpress x120 uses breakthrough, low-wattage microwave technology, improved, molecular-friendly reagents, and traditional vacuum infiltration technology to provide consistent, superior results in record time.  By completing tissue processing in approximately 1 hour with the ability to load up to 40 cassettes every 20 minutes using the standard program, the speed and continuous throughput of the Xpress x120 allows an even distribution of cases throughout the day, making workloads more manageable.  With true rapid tissue processing capabilities beyond just biopsies, the Xpress x120 reduces the processing time of large tissue specimens from 8 hours on a conventional processing platform to only 2.5 hours, saving up to 5.5 hours with comparable results for both H&E and IHC1.  Slides now make their way to the pathologist faster than ever, enabling same-day diagnosis, drastically reducing patient stay and anxiety.

The reagents for the Xpress x120 are uniquely formulated for safe, efficient and rapid tissue processing.  Less than 16 liters of onboard reagents are capable of processing up to 1,500 cassettes, reducing in-lab inventory and saving money by cutting reagent waste by up to 80%.  The ready-to-use reagents require no dilutions and eliminate bottle placement and filling errors, creating an error-free reagent exchange process that saves valuable technician time.  The Xpress reagents are both formalin- and xylene-free, minimizing waste management costs and promoting a less hazardous work environment.

Whether for H&E, special stains, or advanced testing methods like immunohistochemistry or molecular, the Xpress x120 automated tissue processor provides excellent tissue quality that is equal to or better than that produced by conventional tissue processors in only a fraction of the time.  Pairing the continuous, rapid tissue processing of the Xpress x120 with the continuous automated embedding of the Tissue-Tek AutoTEC® a120  provides laboratories with an unmatched workflow combination for the fastest achievable turnaround time.  See Cockerell Dermatopathology's poster presentation titled "Continuous Specimen Flow Changes Night Shifts to Day Shifts While Reducing Turn-Around-Time (TAT)" from NSH 2015 to see how one lab improved their average time from grossing to microtomy from 13.5 hours using a conventional workflow to only 3 hours with a SMART Automation workflow.
