Instrument Features

General description
10
The AutoStainer XL was developed with the goal of satisfying the quality
requirements of modern laboratories:
• high specimen throughput,
• flexibility,
• safety.
The AutoStainer XL achieves its high throughput by means of a specimen
slide transport system, which allows for simultaneous processing of up to
11 specimen slide holders, each with 30 slides.
The flexibility of AutoStainer XL permits simultaneous processing of speci-
men slide holders according to various staining protocols.
An oven is integrated into the instrument for quickly drying specimen slides.
Optimized wash stations provide for rapid removal of reagent residue. The
design of the specimen slide holders ensures minimal reagent displacement
and prevents the reagents from being contaminated by liquid dripping into
them and needing to be replaced prematurely.
The AutoStainer XL is safe to use and has an integrated system for extract-
ing reagent vapors. The specimen slide holders are loaded and unloaded
using two drawers.
