VM100 AUTO STAINER
VM100 Transform Series
FEATURES
SPACE SAVER
Reagent bottles can be neatly organized behind the stainer saving work space and removing extra clutter.
HASSLE-FREE CLEANING
The stainer is equipped with an automatic cleaning function, allowing for a trouble-free status for the nozzle and valve.
FAST AND ACCURATE STAIN
The dual-injection design allows a fast injection that ensures a uniform staining on all slides.
Slide mount unit
Our Auto Stainer is efficient.
A maximum of 40 slides can be stained per cycle only using the minimum required volume of reagent.
MONITORING
Transparent window allows for monitoring while the machine is running.
TEMPERATURE MONITORING
The new and innovative air-heating system prevents the specimens from being overheated. Inside temperatures can be monitored and verified by the display on the panel in real-time. The heating function is similar to the existing manual method.
INNOVATION
VM100 is our state of the art automated slide staining machine with options to select these common staining methods of Ziehl-Neelsen, Kinyoun and GRAM, H&E, DNA, PAP and Hematology.
