With the Leica ST5020 Multistainer, a new level of performance is intoduced to the Pathology laboratory. This new system was designed to achieve perfect staining results and enable modern histology and cytology laboratories to experience a unsurpasses level of flexibility. Both routine and special staining protocols can be performed alone or in combination to produce consistent and high-quality staining results.

Based on a modular design principle, the Leica ST5020 can be easily set up to meet individual laboratory needs. Together with the Leica CV5030 glass coverslipper, an integrated workstation for automated staining and coverslipping can be set up.

The Leica ST5020 Multistainer is a bench-top, automated slide stainer designed to bring utmost flexibiliy into the Pathology laboratory. Up to 12 slide racks holding 30 slides each can be processed simultaneously with multiple staining applications.

Continuous rack loading/unloading using up to 4 load/unload stations allow safe and easy access without opening the instrument lid. Of 40 vessels, up to 6 can be used as watering stations and up to 4 drying stations can be installed. Several staining programs can be run simultaneously, and a reagent management feature automatically monitors the usage of reagent cleanliness to provide optimum staining results.

Color-coded slide rack clips enable racks and programs to be started fully automatic, while a status table displays all active staining schedules. An integrated fume control system includineg an activated carbon filter minimises user exposure to hazardous fumes.
