An automated or semi-automated tissue processor is an electrically powered laboratory instrument used to prepare clinical tissue specimens for microscopic examination. It performs steps such as fixation, dehydration, and infiltration, typically embedding tissue in paraffin wax to enable thin sectioning for histological or cytological analysis.
These devices are regulated as in vitro diagnostic medical devices and are designed for use in clinical laboratories. They may be configured as standalone units or modular systems and are intended to process multiple specimens efficiently and consistently under controlled conditions.
