The Master Science Mini Tissue Processor is a compact bench-top unit for laboratories with modest sample numbers. Twelve 750 ml cups, nine for reagents and three for paraffin, sit in a line under a sealed cover, and a basket carrying up to 40 cassettes moves through them automatically.
Small cups keep reagent use and running cost low. Single-chip control stores 20 programmes, and the operator can step in manually at any point before the unit returns to its programmed sequence.

Common Problems and How This Processor Helps
How the Master Science Mini Tissue Processor answers small-lab constraints:
- No room for a floor-standing unit: bench-top linear layout.
- High reagent consumption: small cup volume.
- Runs spoiled by power dips: operation continues after short outages.
- Reagent carry-over: adjustable drain time with shake above the cup.
