Apparatus for precisely regulating the paraffin temperature in an electrically heated tissue processor comprises a sensor which is detachably fastened to the tissue processor by a clamp so as to be partially immersed in the paraffin. A controller, coupled to the sensor, and coupled in series with the tissue processor heating element by a plug tap across a source of alternating current voltage, is responsive to the conduction state of the sensor and controls the delivery of power to the tissue processor heating element in accordance with the paraffin temperature as sensed by the sensor.

Apparatus for precisely regulating the paraffin temperature in an

Disclosed is an apparatus which attaches to an automatic tissue processor to confine and treat the toxic fumes emanating from solvent containers used in a tissue processor. The apparatus consists of a framework clamped on the tissue processor upon which an adsorbent filter and exhauster/blower assembly are mounted and a transparent flexible cover are placed. The blower sucks the toxic fumes and intake air through the adsorbent filter where the fumes are removed from the air. The clear flexible cover has zippered panels with attached fasteners to observe tissue processor operation and provide the technologist access to the tissue processor for operation and maintenance.
