- Processing up to 1,000 samples per hour
- Three different models designed to offer the utmost in features and flexibility
Product specifications
The COT 20 linear slide stainer is designed to meet the ambitious requirements of today's high throughput staining histology and cytology laboratories.
The most versatile and high performance system in its market segment offers every staining capability you need.
Up to 27 staining stations and capacious staining troughs of 250 ml volume each, enable a high durability of the solutions and an optimum arrangement of programmes.
The automatic drain cycle, adjustable between 1 and 30 seconds, reduces the carry-over of the solvents. Agitation provides a better distribution of the solvents on the slides. However, it can be switched off to prevent sections of sensitive specimens detach from the slides.
The COT 20 linear stainer is compatible to all common staining baskets in the market and therefore easy to integrate into existing lab environments.
The staining time is adjustable from 20 seconds to 12 minutes and is the same for every bath.
The flexibility of the tissue stainer COT 20 grants a large number of variations, the use of all common staining solutions and intermedia, and the application of all staining procedures used in histology and cytology routine.
To protect user and environment, the stainer is equipped with a fume extraction system with two ventilators. For laboratories, where it is not possible to connect the stainer to a central exhaust facility, a charcoal filter unit can be installed to clean the fumes.
