Enhance your histopathology workflow with our Tissue Floatation Bath. Engineered for efficient specimen flotation, it provides a controlled environment for precise tissue sectioning, ensuring accuracy and ease in histological processes. The Linear Slide Staining Machine Model MLST-18 from Micron is a top rated, high-throughput automated stainer designed for laboratories processing large volumes of slides. With 18 cylinders including one cleaning cylinder and one drying cylinder, this system provides complete automation of the staining process from start to finish.
One of the best features of the MLST-18 is its continuous batch dyeing operation mode. This allows multiple baskets to be processed in sequence, keeping the laboratory workflow moving without interruption. The programmable settings for time per cylinder, ranging from 1 second to 99 minutes 59 seconds, provide precise control over every step of the staining protocol. The temperature can be set from 0°C to 99°C for applications requiring heated or cooled reagents. With storage for 6 complete programs, laboratories can easily switch between different staining protocols. Its flexibility and throughput make it a top rated staining machine for busy pathology departments.
Micron has designed the MLST-18 with both performance and operational convenience in mind. The programmable basket rising and trembling function, adjustable from 0-10 times, ensures optimal reagent mixing and slide washing for consistent, reproducible staining results. For clinical laboratories seeking the best automated slide stainer for routine H&E and special stains, the MLST-18 is an outstanding choice. For any laboratory seeking to automate their staining processes, improve consistency, and increase throughput, the MLST-18 is an invaluable investment. Its combination of capacity, flexibility, and reliability makes it one of the best linear slide staining machines available.
