Dual Automated Stainer

Introduction

A dual automated stainer increases throughput by processing two slide batches simultaneously. It is widely used in diagnostic laboratories. The system improves efficiency. It solves low productivity in single-station staining. By parallel processing, it enhances laboratory workflow speed.

Standards

ISO 15189:2022-Medical laboratories-Requirements for quality and competence

ISO/TS 23824:2024-Medical laboratories-Guidance on application of ISO 15189 in anatomic pathology

Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.

Features

1. Precise specimen orientation improves section quality.

2. Clear controls and display support repeatable setup.

3. Precise section thickness control produces consistent, thin cuts.

4. Integrated waste tray keeps the cutting area clean.

5. Smooth advance and retraction reduce chatter and specimen damage.

FAQ

What is the Dual Automated Stainer mainly used for?

The Dual Automated Stainer is used in histology and pathology to prepare tissue sections, process samples and handle slides for microscopic diagnosis. It supports hospital laboratories, research and teaching where thin, consistent sections and clean staining are required.

What standards does the Dual Automated Stainer comply with?

The equipment is designed with reference to IEC 61010 electrical safety and relevant GB/T standards for histology laboratory equipment, with workflows following standard histopathology practice. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.

What warranty comes with the Dual Automated Stainer?

The complete unit carries a 12-month warranty from delivery, covering the main body, core components and controller against manufacturing defects. Consumables and wearing parts such as filters, seals and probes are not covered. Damage from misuse, improper power or unauthorised repair is excluded, and extended warranty can be quoted.

Will staff need special training?

No advanced specialist skills are needed for standard operation, though correct sample handling and safety practice should be followed. We supply a detailed manual and start-up support. For multi-user or regulated sites, a short staff training session can be arranged.

What is the typical lead time for order delivery?

Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.

Is calibration included?

To protect result reliability, periodic verification should be performed, typically once or twice a year. The instrument arrives factory-calibrated, and self-check routines help spot drift. We offer traceable calibration service if the site needs it.

Are the consumables universal or proprietary?

No proprietary consumable contract is required; standard parts are available from us and common laboratory suppliers. Our service team can supply a recommended parts list for the model. Most routine spares are held for quick delivery.

Can it be adapted to our requirements?

The standard model can be configured with selected accessories and operating options to suit the task. Non-standard requests are assessed before quotation so the final build is clearly defined. We confirm details before production.

Do you provide on-site installation?

The unit is delivered ready for set-up, with clear commissioning steps in the manual. We provide remote technical support during installation. For larger or regulated systems, a factory-trained engineer can attend on site on request.

What should be avoided when using the Dual Automated Stainer?

Do not cut with damaged blades, force the mechanism or handle reagents without protection. Change blades carefully, clean the bath and fix tissue properly. Follow laboratory safety rules.
