What Does an Automated Leica Slide Stainer Offer?

On top of the cost benefits of buying one used, Leica's automated slide stainers deliver a suite of advanced features that benefit the modern laboratory.

Programmable Protocols

Automated Leica stainers feature programmable and customizable protocols for controlling every step, from reagent immersion times to temperature, for increased result consistency and quality.

They also offer the flexibility to create and save multiple protocols, such as routine Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), special stains, and complex immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques, so you can adapt the instrument to your specific needs and easily switch between different procedures.

Reagent Tracking

Leica's reagent management system (RMS) accurately tracks reagent usage, slide volume and expiration dates, allowing your lab to maximize reagent life, minimize waste and save money. By monitoring reagent conditions and rotation, the RMS helps you maintain quality, consistent stains.

Parallel Processing

A Leica staining machine processes multiple slide racks simultaneously, increasing your lab's throughput. They also allow you to load and unload racks without interrupting ongoing processes.

Coverslipper Integration

Leica stainers integrate with a coverslipper, automating the transfer to minimize manual handling and the risk of slide breakage or errors.

Enhanced Safety and Quality Control

These instruments feature closed systems with integrated filters to reduce your exposure. They also feature barcode readers to automate slide tracking, minimizing errors and enabling integration with a laboratory information system.

Evaluating a Used Stainer for Your Workflow

Investing in a used automated Leica slide stainer is a cost-effective way to boost your laboratory's efficiency. Consider these factors when selecting this equipment:

• Throughput planning: Analyze your average and peak daily slide volumes and compare them to the staining machine's capacity.
• Protocol compatibility: Buy an automated stainer that performs all the staining procedures your lab requires.
• Stain quality and consistency: Since maintenance affects a used stainer's ability to produce quality, consistent results, check its service history to ensure it was cared for properly.
