Leica EM AMW Automatic Microwave Tissue Processor for Electron Microscopy
As the world's first automated microwave tissue processor specialized for electron microscopy specimen preparation, the EM AMW is a highly capable system that will save you time, effort, and money. Thanks to the extent of its automation, the EM AMW minimizes human error so trustworthy, reproducible results are maximized.
This particular unit is in good condition and is backed by a 90-day warranty. While we were not able to test the microwave itself, we were able to successfully navigate through menus, raise and lower the vial elevator, and configure the date and time. No errors occurred.
Please note that the end user must supply a carousel, vials, and consumables.
While it does have some wear from past usage, such as minor scuffs and chips along the edges, this EM AMW is in good condition overall. We recommend reviewing the photos prior to purchase.
