FAQ

What is the Automatic Slide Stainer mainly used for?

The Automatic Slide 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 Automatic Slide 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.

How long is the warranty period?

A 12-month warranty applies to the complete equipment against defects in materials and workmanship. It excludes consumables, wearing components and accidental or misuse damage. Our service team handles claims against the serial number, and longer cover can be arranged.

How easy is the Automatic Slide Stainer to use?

Routine operation is straightforward and is covered in the user manual, including setup, daily use and basic maintenance. Staff with basic laboratory experience can run it after a short familiarisation. We provide remote guidance and can arrange on-site training where required.

How long does delivery usually take?

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.

How often should the Automatic Slide Stainer be calibrated?

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 consumables and spare parts easy to obtain?

Common consumables and standard spare parts are available through our service channel and are not locked to proprietary formats. Quote the model and serial number when ordering so the correct items are supplied. Lead time for standard parts is usually short.

Can it be adapted to our requirements?

A range of options is available to match the application, such as alternative settings, fittings, data outputs or power supply. We confirm each option and its effect on price and schedule up front. Larger custom builds can be discussed.

Is installation and commissioning included?

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 Automatic Slide 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.
