Leica CV5030
Possible cause
The dispenser needle
is clogged by dried
coverslip mountant
or dried coverslip
mountant has
accumulated around
the dispenser needle.
The cover slip
magazine is inserted
incorrectly.
1. Low-quality
specimen slides
were used.
2. Specimen slides
or specimen
slide holders
have been
damaged and
the instrument
cannot detect
them.
Malfunctions and Troubleshooting
Remedy
Replace the dispenser needle with a new one.
Place the clogged dispenser needle in xylene or another,
corresponding solvent overnight and then carefully clean it of
residual mountant.
Check whether dirt, such as broken glass, is on the floor
and/or in the holder of the cover slip magazine; if necessary,
carefully remove them.
1. Make sure that the loading bath is completely filled with
solvent for "wet" coverslipping. Check the liquid level
and refill if necessary.
2. If the maximum fill level is not enough to cover the
tissue samples completely, the deep loading bath
received in the standard delivery has to be used.
Loading bath, deep – Order No.: 14 0478 39657
Note
Notice! When using the deeper loading bath in
workstations (Leica ST5010 AutoStainerXL or
Leica ST5020 Multistainer), take into account that a
corresponding technical modification is necessary
when using older models or upgrading a workstation.
Contact the responsible Leica service for this
purpose.
