EMS Family of Oscillating Tissue Slicers (continued)


The EMS 4500 Tissue Slicer


The EMS 4500 Tissue Slicer is a scaled down version of the EMS 5000. All of the specifications of the EMS 5000 are the same for the EMS 4500. The only difference between the two units are as follows:


The EMS 4500 does not include: Functional Features


1. Adjustable window 2. Multi-Slice function 3. Home functionality


Accessories 1. Foot Switch 2. Tissue Blocks 3. Vice Holder


The EMS 4500 can be upgraded to the complete EMS 5000 unit at any time. The EMS 5000 Refrigerated Controller and Tray


The EMS 5000 Refrigerated Controller and Tray provide refrigeration capabilities to the 5000 Tissue Slicer. The controller three digit LED displays the current temperature of the bath medium in degrees C. The temperature is maintained within 0.5°C. The temperature range on the unit is between 0-10°C.


The refrigerated tray is fitted with a peltier heat exchange unit. A cold water source is circulated through the assembly to transfer heat. The tubing is connected to the tray with quick connect fittings. No tools are necessary for installation. The fittings are self sealing to prevent leaking during installation. The tray fits directly to the mounting platform of the EMS 5000.


Features


n Control pad with membrane buttons separated from the slicer module to improve ergonomics, reduce "handedness", and isolate switches from bath solutions.


n New slicer head design increases blade motion stability and minimizes vibration that causes tissue distortion.


n Slice thickness from 0 to 999 microns, set in 1 micron increments. Push button advance; digital display of status.


n Easy release slicer head facilitates safe, easy specimen mounting as well as easy cleaning.


n Ultra light blade oscillation mechanism. n Accepts metal, glass, diamond and sapphire blades. n 3 axis adjustable specimen mount (X,Y,Z).


n User defined "travel window" reduces blade travel time between slices.


n User selectable slicing modes for "hands-free" performance of many slices.


Updates and Advantages of the EMS 5000 Series


• Cutting window for automatic sectioning allows for faster and more reliable sectioning.


• Control pad with membrane buttons is now separated from the slicer module improving ergonomics and reducing buffer spillage from contaminating the controls.


• X,Y, and Z – 3 axis adjustable specimen mount. • Easy to release slicer head for safety and ease of specimen mounting. • Slice thickness is now adjustable from 1-999 in 1 micron steps.


• One touch "home" button to return the blade arm to a predetermined point near the specimen.


• The specimen tray is made from a clear polycarbonate for improved viewing of the slice operation. No worry of leakage and section visualization in easy.


• The pivot pins which come as a standard on the pedestal as well as the vice holder allow changing of the angle of the pedestal relative to the blade. Easy sample orientation in all directions.


• The tray includes a lock on feature for a more secure mount to the platform.


• The standard unit comes complete with our unique pivotal tissue pedestal (you can mount the specimen directly on the pedestal without the need for vices or blocks mounted in the sample tray).


n Slice counter/Slice thickness display.


n Precise bar graph displays of blade oscillation and advance speeds.


n Consistent live tissue slices of 10 microns achieved.


n Adjustable/Removable magnifier lens X2-Swings away when not in use.


n White LED's mounted to knife holder for constant, direct, cold source illumination during slicing.


n Blade mechanism above bath simplifies maintenance; easy to clean removable tray.


n Mounting of the specimen can be done directly on our unique tissue pedestal (with the option of using the pivot pin [see Diagram 1] or just setting the pedestal flat on the bottom of the tray on a 90° angle [see Diagram 2] in addition a sample vice holder, with pivot pin can be attached to the tray and mounting blocks used [see Diagram 3] – (both devices come standard with unit).


n Adjustable knife angle indicator is built into the arm of the unit.
