EasyDip™ Slide
Staining System
The EasyDip™ Slide Staining System has two components: a square staining jar and a 12-position vertical slide staining rack. Jars can be loosely joined to each other laterally, therefore making sure they are kept in the same order when moved around on the lab counter. They also are available with five different colors to help better identity contents or applications.
The Staining Jar being made from acetal plastic will not break like most glass jars do. It will resist attacks from most staining reagents including alcohol and xylenes but not phenols. The wide stable base offers greater stability while the inside is recessed, allowing for a smaller reagent volume of only 80ml. Ideal for frozen sections, small jobs and special processes.
Dimensions: 64mm x 76mm x 92mm (2 ½ x 3 x 3 ⅝“).
The EasyDip™ Slide Staining Rack will hold
up to 12 slides of 25x75mm or 26x76mm (3x1”) with a thickness
of 1.0 to 1.2mm. These racks are safe for the microwave oven and at
temperature up to 120°C. The lid completely covers the EasyDip™ Slide
Staining Jar to minimize spill and evaporation. The handle is permanently
attached to the rack for easy insertion or removal of the slide. The
base of the rack is placed in the vertical position to ensure the slides
are in place, and are rotated sideways for easy slide removal.
Dimensions: 60 x 64 x 97mmH (2 ¼ x 2 ½ x 3 ¾”H)
For your convenience, we offer EasyDip™ Slide Staining Kit. Kit consists of one Staining Jar and one Staining Rack, color white.
