Manual Slide Staining System available (Histology Accessory) 1 | 2

March 1, 2004

Effective March 2004, Leica Microsystems Nussloch GmbH will have a manual, easy-to-use low-cost staining system available. The Leica Easy Dip Slide Staining System made by Simport Plastics, Canada, is designed for customers' manual staining requirements associated with cryosectioning and whenever the customer is in need of staining just a couple of slides at a time.

The EasyDip™Slide Staining System has two components: a square staining jar and a 12-position vertical slide rack. Jars can be loosely joined to each other laterally, therefore making sure they are kept in the same order when moved around on the lab counter. As an extra benefit, they are available in 5 different colors to help better identifying staining fluids or reagents per jar.



The staining jar being made of resistant acetal plastic will not break like most glass jars do. It will resist to attacks by most staining agents including alcohol and xylene but not phenol.
