Holding capacity: 100 cassettes
Tissue cassettes are loosely arranged in the bas-
ket. The maximum capacity is 100 cassettes. The
cassettes are stacked in the basket. So that the
infiltration process is not disturbed, no cassette
may lie on top of the stack. The maximum filling
level must be reduced. Depending on the size of
the specimens and the use of foam supports or
paper towels, the minimum filling level can also be
used as the maximum filling level. For processing
100 cassettes, the maximum filling level for the
reagents is approximately 1200 ml.

Holding capacity: 1.8 l
The reagent container consists of a
glass beaker with holder.
The wall of the beaker has two marks (Min, Max)
that specify the minimum and maximum level in
the container.
The level must not
exceed the Max mark or fall below the Min mark
during filling.
