Description

The TISSUE SLIDE DRYER is a high-capacity laboratory instrument designed for efficient and precise drying of tissue and microscope slides, essential for histology, pathology, and research laboratories. With a robust capacity of up to 100 slides (arranged in 10 rows of 10 slides each), this dryer ensures optimal workflow for high-volume labs. Its compact dimensions (256 x 188 x 52 mm for the drying area, overall 330 x 375 x 130 mm) make it suitable for various lab configurations. The temperature range is fully adjustable from 0°C to 99°C, with a precision of ±1°C, allowing for controlled and uniform drying. The 60° slope angle facilitates easy slide placement and removal, while its advanced temperature control and safety features (including over-temperature protection and a secure fuse system) guarantee reliable performance. Operating on both AC110V~120V and AC220V~240V, it is adaptable to global standards, and its 900W power ensures rapid heating and energy efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main use of a tissue slide dryer?
A tissue slide dryer is used to dry tissue or specimen slides after sectioning and mounting, preparing them for staining and microscopic examination. This step is crucial for achieving high-quality, artifact-free results in histology and pathology workflows.

What temperature should I use for drying slides?
For most applications, slides should be dried at a consistent temperature between 60°C and 65°C to prevent overheating and ensure uniform results. The TISSUE SLIDE DRYER allows precise control within a 0~99°C range, accommodating various protocols.

How many slides can it accommodate at once?
This model can handle up to 100 slides simultaneously, making it ideal for labs with high throughput needs.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:

• High slide capacity (100 slides) increases productivity and efficiency.

• Wide and precise temperature range (0~99°C, ±1°C) supports diverse laboratory needs.

• Compact footprint and ergonomic 60° slope angle for easy handling.

• Advanced safety features and dual voltage compatibility for global use.

• Reliable, uniform drying reduces the risk of artifacts and improves staining quality.

Disadvantages:

• Higher initial investment compared to basic models.

• The large capacity may be excessive for small labs with low sample volume.

• Requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance.

Product Use in the Field

In practical laboratory settings, the TISSUE SLIDE DRYER streamlines the preparation of tissue slides for staining and analysis. After sectioning and mounting, slides are placed on the angled drying surface, which ensures even heat distribution and rapid moisture removal. This process minimizes preparation time, reduces the risk of sample loss or damage, and supports high-throughput workflows in clinical, research, and teaching laboratories.

Recommendations

To maximize the lifespan and performance of your TISSUE SLIDE DRYER, it is recommended to:

• Regularly clean the drying surface to prevent residue buildup.

• Monitor temperature settings closely to avoid overheating.

• Schedule routine checks of safety features and electrical components.

• Use the device within recommended environmental conditions (5°C–45°C, ≤80% humidity) for optimal results.

If you are seeking a reliable, high-capacity solution for slide preparation, the TISSUE SLIDE DRYER stands out for its precision, efficiency, and adaptability.
