Automatic sample preparation system COT 20

for histologyfor cytologyfor slide staining

High throughput with little effort Up to 1,000 slides per hour can be processed with the Linear Stainer COT 20. The continuous process makes high daily througput possible in histological and cytological laboratories. A total of 23 staining stations are available. The slide holders are transported from one staining bath to the next according to the dwell and draining time. The time cycle can be freely selected from seconds to hours by choosing different digit and time unit scales, and is the same for all stations. Longer bath times are realizable by repeated bath occupancy. The drip automatic reduces the carryover of staining solutions. The front work surface has two removable solvent containers. Each one offers space for up to 8 microscope slide holders with 20 slides each. The containers are made of stainless steel and can be easily removed and cleaned. Stainless steel lids reduce vapors coming from the containers. Reliable, high-quality staining results Flowing watering via a central water connection can be set for 16 of the 23 staining stations. This ensures consistently high-quality staining results. The staining cuvettes have a capacity of 250 ml. The effectiveness of the staining and solvents is supported by the use of the agitation function. This can be easily switched on and off using a switch on the front of the device. The flexibility of the COT 20 allows a multitude of variations, the use of many common staining solutions and intermediates as well as the realization of many cytological and histological routine stains.
