HistoCore SPECTRA ST Stainer

World Class Staining Quality and Consistency

The HistoCore SPECTRA ST Stainer is a high throughput routine H&E stainer with the flexibility to process H&E and special stains simultaneously. The optimized and validated protocols with specifically designed consumables provide consistent staining results for the wide range of intensities pathologists expect.

The new fully automated and innovative HistoCore SPECTRA ST Stainer design features a dual robotic arm technology to streamline your staining process and eliminate workflow bottlenecks. The intuitive, easy to use software and the precise reagent management system with RFID technology provide more control and a decreased chance for human errors. Ultimately, this will free you up to accomplish other tasks and meet increasing workload demands.

Product Features

Precise Reagent Management and Cost Control with Single Slide Counting

Have precise control over reagent conditions, and coordinate reagent exchange using RFID-monitored consumables, color-coded rack technology, and a slide counter. Together, these features minimize user errors, save time, control costs, and reduce waste in the lab.

Reduced Errors with Protocol Autostart

The unique color -coded rack technology provides a clear visual distinction and automatically starts individual protocols when the racks are inserted. This reduces human error by making it easy to recognize and correctly allocate the racks and slides to their designated staining protocols.

Uncompromised flexibility

Efficiently process up to 330 H&E slides per hour. Experience uncompromised flexibility and reduction in turnaround time by running H&E and special stains simultaneously at high throughput due to the innovative design and high capacity of 52 cuvette stations.

No External Oven Needed

For better specimen adherence to the glass slide, baking/drying is integrated into the staining process on the HistoCore SPECTRA ST Stainer with a built-in hot air oven that eliminates excess paraffin. No external oven or additional user interaction is required, and the oven can process up to six racks at the same time. That means faster turnaround times and quicker processing.

Intuitive User Interface Minimizes Hands-On Time

The easy-to-use software of the HistoCore SPECTRA ST Stainer automatically calculates optimal bath layouts and eliminates the need to manuallygenerate bath layouts – , eliminating manual steps. As a result, no hands-on interaction is needed, which helps improve lab efficiency.

Routine & Special Staining with Dual Robotic Arms

Dual robotic arms and multiple reagent stations ensure each rack is stained efficiently. Users can process up to 330 slides per hour without compromising flexibility or lowering the turnaround time. In addition, the innovative design and 52 cuvette stations enable H&E and special stains to run simultaneously at high throughput.

Oversight and Control through Traceability

The HistoCore SPECTRA H&E Staining System provides the clarity and consistency you expect. In addition, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology enables you to accurately track reagent usage, slide volume, and maintainsmaintain records.
