Our products
The product range involves medical equipment, biotechnology, electronic technology, high-end building materials, decoration engineering and other industries.
Automation
Slide stainers automate the staining process, reducing the reliance on manual labor and minimizing the risk of human error. Automated protocols ensure consistent timing, temperature control, and reagent dispensing, leading to reproducible and reliable staining results.
Time savings
Automated slide stainers significantly reduce the hands-on time required for slide staining. By streamlining the staining process, slide stainers allow laboratory staff to focus on other tasks, increasing overall laboratory productivity. Batch processing capabilities enable multiple slides to be stained simultaneously, further saving time.
Staining consistency
Slide stainers ensure consistent and standardized staining protocols, eliminating variations that May occur with manual staining methods. Consistency in staining improves intra-laboratory reproducibility and allows for accurate comparison of slides over time or between different laboratories.
Reagent efficiency
Slide stainers optimize reagent usage, reducing waste and cost. Automated dispensing of reagents minimizes overconsumption and contamination risks, ensuring that reagents are used efficiently without compromising staining quality. This is particularly important for expensive or limited quantity reagents utilized in specialized stainings.
Workflow integration
Slide stainers can be integrated with laboratory information management systems (lims) or digital imaging systems, streamlining the workflow and improving data capture and traceability. Connected systems enable efficient tracking of slides, reagents, and staining protocols, promoting seamless integration with downstream processes for analysis and archiving.
Applications of Slide Stainer
Routine hematoxylin and eosin (h&e) staining
H&e staining is the most commonly performed staining technique in histology and pathology. It involves the use of hematoxylin to stain cell nuclei blue-purple and eosin to stain cytoplasm pink. Slide stainers automate the process by precisely timing and controlling the staining steps, ensuring consistent and reliable results for the visualization of tissue structures.
Immunohistochemistry (ihc)
Slide stainers are widely used for immunohistochemistry, a technique that allows the detection and visualization of specific proteins in tissue samples. The slide stainer automates the incubation steps with primary antibodies, secondary antibodies, and the chromogen, providing precise timing and temperature control. This ensures reproducibility and accurate protein detection in diagnostic and research applications.
Special stains
Slide stainers are capable of performing a variety of special stains that allow visualization of specific tissue components or abnormalities. Examples include silver staining for highlighting reticular fibers, masson's trichrome staining for collagen visualization, or periodic acid-schiff (pas) staining for glycogen detection. The automation provided by slide stainers ensures consistent and standardized staining protocols for these special stains.
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (fish)
Slide stainers equipped with fluorescence capabilities can perform fish staining. This technique utilizes fluorescently labeled DNA probes to target specific DNA sequences in the tissue sections, allowing for the detection of genetic aberrations, such as gene amplifications or chromosomal rearrangements. Slide stainers automate the various hybridization and wash steps involved in fish, ensuring reproducibility and accuracy in the detection of genetic changes.
Types of Slide Stainer
Centrifugal stainers
These slide stainers spray reagents onto slides, which are positioned in a rotating carousel. They use centrifugal force to clean the slides of excess reagents before drying them.
Linear transport stainers
This type of hematology slide stainer features a transport arm that moves slide baskets in and out of parallel regent vessels.
Robotic arm stainers
Similar to linear transport stainers, these devices feature a robotic arm that users can program to lift and deliver slides to their corresponding buckets.
Platen stainers
Platen stainers use capillary action to apply reagents to slides. The slides sit in conveyor spirals which contain grooves that keep the slides in place and lying face down as they move across the platform.
Preparing
Affix the tissue specimens to a slide, which goes into a slide holder.
Loading
Insert the slide holder into the stainer and program the device to the desired staining protocol.
Staining
The slide stainer takes over and applies the staining reagent, such as dyes or antibodies, to the slides.
Timing
The slide stainer precisely controls each step's duration, ensuring precision and consistent results.
Washing
The slide stainer rinses any excess stain or reagent to ensure a clear specimen.
Drying
Certain slide stainers also include a drying step that removes any moisture that could impair your analysis.
Covering
Once completed, remove the slides from the stainer and cover them with the protective coverslip.
