The RD-600 stores 9 programs for flexible dehydration schemes across different specimen types. Each reagent bottle holds 1.5L with an adjustable residence time of 0-99h59min per station. The paraffin tank temperature is adjustable from 0-99°C, Increments: 1°C in 1-degree increments. Built-in features include a 30-second drainage function per cylinder change to prevent reagent cross-contamination, an automatic cylinder shaking function (4 times/25min) for enhanced reagent stirring, a waste filtration system to prevent harmful gas volatilization, delayed activation, and an alarm function for stuck reagent tanks or baskets. CE, ISO, 13485 certified with 2 years and lifetime technical support.

Key Features
- Dual Hanging Baskets with High Capacity -- Two baskets operate simultaneously, supporting 2 independent programs and loading up to 100 embedding cassettes -- dramatically improving dehydration throughput for busy histology labs.
- 9 Stored Programs -- Customize and store up to 9 dehydration protocols for different specimen types. Switch between programs seamlessly without reprogramming.
- 30-Second Drainage Function -- Each cylinder change includes a 30s drainage period at the top position to prevent reagent carryover and cross-contamination between processing stations, ensuring specimen integrity.
- Cylinder Shaking System -- Automatically shakes 4 times/25min when the basket is submerged in the reagent cylinder, enhancing liquid stirring, ensuring complete chemical reactions, and improving processing uniformity.
- Waste Filtration System -- Built-in filtration prevents harmful gas volatilization from reagents, protecting laboratory personnel health and maintaining a safe working environment.
- Precise Paraffin Temperature Control -- Adjustable from 0-99°C, Increments: 1°C in 1-degree increments, ensuring optimal paraffin viscosity for consistent infiltration across all tissue types.
- Delayed Activation -- Program the RD-600 to start processing at a scheduled time, enabling overnight or weekend operation without staff presence.
- Alarm & Safety Functions -- Audible and visual alerts when the reagent tank or basket gets stuck and fails to operate. Starting position calibration eliminates errors caused by incorrect cylinder positioning.
- Linear Design for Bench Efficiency -- The long-shape (1400mm*600mm*500mm mm) configuration provides easy access to all 14 (10 cups for reagents, 4 for paraffin cup) cylinders, simplifying reagent changes and maintenance compared to carousel designs.

FAQ
How is the RD-600 different from carousel-type tissue processors?
The RD-600 uses a linear (long-shape) design with 14 (10 cups for reagents, 4 for paraffin cup) cylinders arranged in a row, compared to the 12-cup circular carousel of the RD-500 series. The linear design provides easier access to all reagent bottles, supports dual baskets for simultaneous 2-program operation, and accommodates up to 100 cassettes. Choose RD-600 for high-throughput labs prioritizing capacity and reagent change convenience; choose a carousel model for more compact benchtop footprint.
How does the dual basket system work?
The RD-600 is equipped with two independent hanging baskets that can run 2 different dehydration programs simultaneously. Total capacity is up to 100 embedding cassettes across both baskets. This effectively doubles throughput compared to single-basket processors when processing different specimen types in parallel.
How does the drainage function prevent cross-contamination?
During each cylinder change, the basket pauses at the top position for 30s, allowing residual reagent to drain back into its bottle before the basket moves to the next station. This prevents reagent carryover that could compromise specimen quality or alter subsequent reagent concentrations.
What safety and alarm features does the RD-600 include?
The RD-600 features a waste filtration system to prevent harmful gas volatilization, an alarm function that alerts when the reagent tank or basket gets stuck, starting position calibration to eliminate cylinder positioning errors, and delayed activation for scheduled processing. These features protect both laboratory personnel and tissue specimens during operation.
