Stainmate Bi-Linear Batch Stainers
New Modular Range of Bi-Linear Batch Stainers
These newly introduced linear batch staining units are designed to be user friendly, programmable and modular.
The Stainmate is available in MINI or MAX models – The MINI range (38 ml dish/bath capacity) is ideal for expensive staining techniques and special staining procedures, The MAX (200ml dish/bath capacity) is ideal for larger batch sizes.
Both the Stainmate MINI and MAX models can operate on a 12 volt
power supply – this, together with their compact design, makes
Stainmate modules truly portable. Stainmate modules are designed so
they can pass racks to other staining modules, additional dish/bath or
drying units. Modules can have two additional staining dishes/baths
added one at each end extending the unit’s capacity. A drying unit is
also available that can be attached to one end of a module if required.
If you require more than 12 baths for your staining process (10
dish/bath MINI or MAX with External Baths), multiple Stainmate modules
can be linked together and controlled via the PC-Based Stainmate
Software. Stainmate can be used in : Histopathology, Cytology
Hematology, and Microbiology Labs
