HS-4 Stainer for the Haematology

The stainer is quick and simple to operate and takes up little space.
With a size of 38 x 28cm (15’’ x 11’’) it is one of the smallest devices of its kind.

Ideal for staining techniques requiring no more than four reagents. The package includes slide holders for 76x22 standard slides. There are two racks for 8 or 16 slides respectively. The complete holder may be detached for loading the slides outside the stainer.

The stainer comes with a drip tray easily detachable for cleaning. It holds a set of four troughs with capacities for 8 or 16 slides. The stainer protocol includes permanent immersion times in minutes, seconds or short dips can also be defined. The process runs automatically, but may be interrupted or modified by the user at any time.

A control program checks the stainer’s functioning every time it is switched on. It also controls the automatic program flow. One back-lit LCD display and three coloured indicators inform the
user of the status of both the device and the program.

The picture shows the 8-position slide holders and the small vessels with a volume of 160 ml.

The slide carrier is easily detached for loading outside the stainer. It can be exchanged for the 16-position carrier.

A HS-4-8 staining machine can be easily changed into a 16 position staining machine.

The easy-to-read, lighted display shows the status of the program. It gives the immersion period, remaining time or the number of one-second dips for every staining station.

The water-resistant control panel permits a quick change of the process parameters.

The staining routine can be interrupted at any time or stopped completely. The three LEDs inform you at a glance whether the stainer is ready, busy, or an error has occurred. Next to the control panel you will find a short, complete guide for the few operation steps necessary.
