Automated Immunostainer / Slide Stainer

An automatic slide stainer is a device used to simplify various slide-staining procedures and automate the staining of peripheral blood and other hematologic smears. The operator inserts slides into a carrier and selects a time or programmed procedure. Slide stainers automate the time-consuming and expensive (when done manually) task of staining slides. Linear transport slide stainers have a transport arm that moves baskets of slides into and out of parallel regent vessels. Robotic arm stainers allow the user to program the stainer to move the robotic arm carrying the slides to the desired bucket.
