Overview This innovative compact oven from Biocare Medical is extremely efficient and is specially designed for the rapid drying of slides. The combination of a small footprint, turbo fan, 365-watt element and a digital programmable temperature process controller makes this oven superior to other conventional drying ovens.
If any problems arise with the oven, call Biocare Medical for technical service at 800-799-9499. Maintenance The Desert Chamber Pro oven is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. However, the oven does require periodic cleaning and chamber temperature accuracy verification in order to maintain operational and safety standards. Periodically check the rear air intake vents for dirt or dust build-up.
10 - 12 °C lower than the paraffin melting point - usually 40 - 45 °C. Use Biocare Medical Kling-On Slides or other positively charged slides for optimal tissue adhesion. Shake the slides with a snapping action of the wrist to remove excess water that may be trapped between the tissue section and the glass slide. Drain slides in a vertical position for 5 - 10 minutes.
