The Leica EM FSP (“Freeze Substitution Processor”) is an automatic reagent handling system. Mounted on the Leica EM AFS2, it dispenses reagents for both FS and PLT. It automatically dilutes FS media and resins from 100 % reagent containers. An integrated LED UV lamp allows immediate polymerization of the samples.
