Description

The TISSUE SLIDE DRYER is a high-capacity, precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed to rapidly and uniformly dry up to 100 microscope slides arranged in 10 rows of 10 slides each. Measuring 256 x 188 x 52 mm for the slide dryer itself, with an embedding table size of 74 x 46 x 5 mm, it fits conveniently on any laboratory bench. The device offers a broad temperature range from 0°C to 99°C, with a precise control accuracy of ±1°C, ensuring optimal drying conditions for paraffin tissue sections and other delicate samples. Its 60° slope angle facilitates easy placement and removal of slides, while the dual voltage compatibility (AC110V~120V / AC220V~240V) and frequency flexibility (50Hz/60Hz) make it suitable for global use. With a power rating of 900W and a net weight of 6 kg, the TISSUE SLIDE DRYER combines efficiency, capacity, and portability for demanding histology and pathology workflows.

Product Use in the Field

In practical laboratory settings, the TISSUE SLIDE DRYER is essential for histology, pathology, cytology, and microbiology labs. It is used after tissue sectioning to dry slides before staining, ensuring moisture is removed uniformly to prevent staining artifacts and preserve sample integrity. The device’s rapid and even heating shortens turnaround times, enabling labs to process more samples efficiently while maintaining high diagnostic standards.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, preheat the slide dryer before loading slides, clean the drying surface regularly to avoid residue buildup, and operate the device within the recommended ambient temperature (5°C to 45°C) and relative humidity (≤80%). Position the unit in a well-ventilated area to ensure consistent operation and prolong its lifespan. Regular maintenance and calibration checks are advised to maintain temperature accuracy and safety compliance.
