1.2 Qualification of personnel
• The Leica EG1150 C may be operated by
trained laboratory personnel only.
• All laboratory personnel designated to oper-
ate this instrument must read these Instruc-
tions for Use carefully and must be familiar
with all technical features of the instrument
before attempting to operate it.
Tip-n-Tell indicator to moni-
tor whether the shipment has
been transported and stored
in upright position according
to your requirements. With
a pitch of 60° or more, the
blue quartz sand flows into
the arrow-shaped indicator
window and sticks there per-
manently. Improper handling
of the shipment is immediately
detectable and can be proven
definitively.
In the Shockwatch system, a
precision glass tube shows
shocks or impacts that are
above a specified intensity
through red coloration. Ex-
ceeding a defined accelera-
tion (g value) destroys the
surface tension of the liquid
in the interior of the tube. This
causes the indicator tube to
change color.
1.3 Intended use of instrument
The Leica EG1150 C is a cold plate for chilling
and blocking out histological tissue samples in
paraffin blocks.
Any other use of the instrument will be
