Poly Stainer – Slide Stainer
Automated slide staining is essential for laboratories aiming to increase efficiency and standardize sample processing. The Poly Stainer automates routine staining workflows, reducing the manual workload associated with traditional staining steps. General microbiology and histology laboratories that seek to streamline sample staining procedures will find significant benefit in its routine use.
Up to 20 microscope slides can be placed in the Poly Stainer basket. A robotic arm then moves the basket through four exchangeable plastic wells, enabling consistent dipping and agitation. Slides may also be processed in a dedicated drainable water well, which renews the water after each rinse cycle. Finally, slides can be fan-dried with or without heat. With four reagent wells available, the system supports a wide range of staining protocols used in laboratory environments.
System Highlights
Walkaway Solution: A one push button operation triggers the entire staining procedure.
Unique Design: The PolyStainer was uniquely designed to separate its staining area from the system’s electronics and mechanics, this ensures durability due to separation from highly oxidative reagents.
Staining Protocol Optimization: Ensures no cross-contamination by using the PolyStainer’s rinse well drain to keep rinse water clean. Accelerates stain preparation by drying out slides.
