Slide Stainers

TST 44 Programmable Slide Stainer
TCA44

Key product features:

Programmable continuous slide stainer with highest capacity in routine stains and up to 12 parallel operating staining programs.

The programmable continuous slide stainer TST 44 with up to 12 parallel operating staining programs is an "assembly-line worker" for routine staining protocols frequently needed in histology and cytology laboratories.

Its unique Reagent Management System (RMS) ensures high quality samples and helps reducing consumption and costs.

Highest capacity in routine stains Maximum flexibility with up to 12 parallel operating staining programs Large number of bath stations with very low consumption Continous loading principle Enhanced Reagent Management System ensures high sample quality

Product specifications:

The outstanding features of the TST 44 result in a high capacity of up to 500 slides per hour and considerably decrease the time needed for this routine work in the laboratory. Its again increased number of reagent stations in combination with a continous working principle provides a high throughput. Up to 12 baskets with 30 slides each can be processed at the same time following identical or different staining protocols.

There are four loading and four unloading stations available as start and exit baths providing fully automatic performance of the staining procedures without the need to interfere. The slide stainer can store up to 20 staining protocols with up tp 40 program steps. Up to 12 parallel operating programs can be run simultaneously.

The extraction device with integrated charcoal filter and connection to an external ventilation system avoids the emission of solvent fumes and provides an optimum protection of the user's health. The water saving feature is a contribution to energy saving and environment protection.
