Description

Leica Autostainer ST5010 Slide Stainer

The Leica Autostainer ST5010 Slide Stainer for routine staining in the histopathology laboratory has set proven standards: Flexibility plus reliability makes the instrument one of the most successful within its class. One very important feature of the Leica Autostainer ST5010 Slide Stainer is that it can be used for H&E routine staining alone or simultaneously with other staining protocols. Without exception, users of the instrument confirm that the tissue sections adhere firmly to the slides and staining results are exceptionally reproducible. Because of its simple and logical

operation daily work with the Autostainer XL is especially easy and efficient.

The Leica Autostainer XL’s precisionmade, trouble-free, stainless steel robot arm moves swiftly and quietly on the x, y and z direction motion axes to process the slide racks.

The microprocessor controlled Leica Autostainer ST5010 Slide Stainer has 15 programs and is designed to be simple to use and operate.

The Leica Autostainer ST5010 Slide Stainer has an innovative continuous load and unload drawer access and robot arm system that lets you continue slide processing without stopping the instrument’s operation.

The proven Leica Autostainer ST5010 slide stainer continues to provide reproducible, consistent, high-quality staining and increased workload throughput.

The flexibility of open consumables and reagents along with the option to use validated Surgipath reagents, consumables and protocols provides superior staining and coverslipping quality.

The ST5010 slide stainer can be used stand-alone or integrated with the Leica CV5030 glass coverslipper. Eliminating the manual handling of slide racks between staining and coverslipping creates a ‘walk-away’ staining/coverslipping workstation. Upgrade at any time to match your laboratory’s specific needs.
