Page 10: Reception And Installation Of The Unit
Slide Stainer Reception and installation of the unit Before removing the Slide Stainer from their shipping package, carefully inspect the wooden case for any damage which may have occurred during transport. Should you detect any sign of damage, do not open the case and immediately report the situation to the transport agency. -
Page 11: Connection
Slide Stainer The fume extractor outlet is located at the back of the instrument. For correct ventilation of the instrument a minimum space of 100 mm from wall should be kept free. Connection Connecting to the mains CAUTION Electronics of the Slide Stainer are protected and screened. However, the instrument should not be sited near to heavy electrical machinery generating heat, vibrations or strong electrical noises. -
Page 12: Water Inlet And Outlet
¾” threaded fitting supplied with the device. The water supply must be equipped with a stopcock (not supplied) to enable it to be turned off. Myr accepts no responsibility for the connection between the water supply and the equipment. -
Page 13: Commisioning
Slide Stainer Length L in mm is calculated with the formula: (Nt - Nc) * 55 - 16 Nt is the number of the station in which the water inlet is located. Nc is the number of the station containing the trough to be connected. 55 is the distance in mm between the troughs and water inlets. - Page 14 Slide Stainer Check that the 20 troughs are positioned correctly and not inverted. If they are not positioned correctly, significant mechanical problems can occur. To prevent the reagents from overflowing, the troughs should only be filled up to the level indicated on the inner recess. Note that the reagent that each trough should contain is determined by the previously-established Reagent map.
- Page 15 Slide Stainer Only SS-30H Pay special attention to the programmes that use the drying station. In these cases, make sure that the previous programmed step cannot originate from a trough containing a flammable reagent (e.g. xylol). This is to prevent a possible fire.

By clicking OK, all data received from the slide stainer appears on screen. At this point, it is possible to generate a backup file with the extension “.myr” and save it in the “File > Save...” menu so that it can be recovered at a later date if necessary. - Page 36 Slide Stainer Once writing is complete, everything transmitted will appear in the slide stainer. This first writing is temporarily stored in the volatile memory of the equipment to enable the user to check that it is correct. This means that if the slide stainer is turned off and then on, the stored information will be lost.
- Page 37 Slide Stainer Once confirmed, it remains stored even if the slide stainer is turned off. Reading and writing reagents 32 default reagents appear in the programme, and these are the same as those that appear in the machine. All reagents can be edited, except number 15, which, as previously mentioned, is reserved to indicate the washing stations.

Page 42: Running A Process
Slide Stainer Running a process On page 13, it is recommended that you perform some assays without samples or reagents to familiarise yourself with the device. Perform the checks that are shown, carry out some test processes to verify the programmes before filling the troughs with reagents and run processes with real specimens. - Page 43 Slide Stainer These instructions must be followed carefully since the processor can only obtain its information if the key presses confirming the loading and unloading operations performed are made in the correct order. For your safety, do not lift the loading or unloading doors when the indicator light is RED.
- Page 44 Slide Stainer Make sure that the rack fits perfectly into the notches of the trough, otherwise the robotic arm will not collect it properly and a collision will occur. Once the rack has been placed into the corresponding trough, close the loading door and press LOAD again to confirm that the loading operation has been completed.
