Tissue-Tek® Film® Coverslipper is designed to automate the manual task of permanently mounting a histology or cytology stained slide. The Film® Coverslipper has the ability to link with Prisma Slide Stainer which makes this instrument a fully integrated system offering complete walk away convenience.
Coverslips up to twenty slides per minute with a cellulose tri-acetate film coated with a xylene-activated resin on the lower surface. The flexible film, with optical clarity equal to glass, is automatically applied to the slide, eliminating the use of sticky mounting media and extended xylene contact. Selectable mounted film length and batch or single slide operating capabilities.
