Description

The TISSUE SLIDE DRYER is a specialized device designed for the efficient drying of tissue slides in histology, pathology, and biology laboratories. Its compact dimensions of 256 x 188 x 52 mm make it practical for use in limited spaces. It has a capacity for 100 slides arranged in 10 rows of 10 units each, with an embedding table size of 74 x 46 x 5 mm. The adjustable temperature range from 0 to 99°C, with a precision of ±1°C, ensures controlled and uniform drying, while its 60° slope facilitates optimal handling and heating of the samples. It operates with a voltage of AC110V~120V or AC220V~240V and a power of 900W, providing robust and safe performance with built-in fuses and Class I electrical protection. Additionally, it is designed to work in environments with temperatures between 5 and 45°C and relative humidity up to 80%, supporting atmospheric pressures from 700 to 1060 hPa. Its net weight is 6 kg, making it portable and easy to install in any laboratory.

Field Use

The TISSUE SLIDE DRYER is mainly used in histology and pathology laboratories for the rapid and uniform drying of tissue sections mounted on slides. Its 60° inclination helps keep samples in place during heating, preventing wrinkles or deformations. It is especially useful for preparing samples before staining or microscopic analysis, ensuring the tissue is dry and properly adhered. Its adjustable temperature range allows adaptation to different tissue types and protocols, optimizing workflow in clinical and research laboratories.

Recommendations

To maximize the performance and lifespan of the TISSUE SLIDE DRYER, it is recommended to keep the device clean and dust-free, avoid exposure to excessive humidity, and perform regular checks on the electrical system and fuses. Regular temperature calibration is important to ensure drying accuracy. Also, avoid leaving the device on unnecessarily to extend its lifespan and use the temperature control function to adjust drying according to the sample type.
