Leica Autostainer XL ST5010 Specifications

Instrument Functions

• Compact and efficient H&E autostainer which can stain up to 200 slides per hour
  
  
• Can stain over 150 slides per hour with typical H&E protocols
  
  
• 18 reagent stations 5 wash stations and an integrated forced hot air oven that significantly reduces slide drying time
  
  
• Simultaneous staining of up to 11 racks (30 slides/rack) using several different protocols - selecting any compatible
  program for each rack
• Continuous load/unload drawer access and robot arm system allows users to continue slide processing without interrupting
  instrument's operation
• Stainless steel robot arm moves accurately and quietly with precision on the x, y and z direction motion axes to process the
  slide racks
• Reagent containers can be exchanged and/or refilled quickly and easily
  
  
• Incubation times and sequence of use for reagent stations is independently programmable
  
  
• Agitation of individual slide racks is fully programmable from no agitation to continuous agitation
  
  
• Easy to use menu and microprocessor controlled
  
  
• 15 programs can be stored in memory each with up to 25 steps
  
  
• Staining programs can be terminated at any reagent and racks can be removed prior to completion of the staining protocol
  
  
• Integrated program recognition where the autostainer will not start a stain protocol that it is incompatible with another stain
  protocol already in progress
  
  
• Programming flexibility allows a stain protocol to begin or end in any station and move in any station sequence that
  maximizes utilization of the instrument
  
  
• Water saving feature which stops the flow of water if none of the wash stations is in use
  
  
• Minimized exposure to hazardous fumes with the integrated fume containment hood and extraction fan with integral charcoal filter
  
  
• PC access for fault diagnosis by service engineer
