Mini Section/Slide Dryer

Slimline Slide Drying Hotplate & Lid

28070, 28070-1

The Slimline Slide Drying Hotplate is designed to efficiently dry paraffin tissue sections through the use of accurate variable digital temperature control. An ultra-fast heating system ensures a rapid warm-up time prior to use. Microscope slides are supported on four moveable rails which allow heated air to pass underneath the slides accelerating drying times. The rails can be removed from the instrument so slides can be placed directly onto the heated surface when required. Slides can be positioned sloped at a 10° angle to encourage water drain-off.

The body of the Slimline Hotplate is coated with an anti-microbial paint finish whch inhibits bacterial and viral growth. The actual hotplate is coated with a maitte black powder to provide visual contrast against paraffin tissue sections.

Key Features:

• Ultra-fast heating system for rapid warm-up
• Variable temperature control gives the ability to set temperature to exact specimen requirements
• Memory function for desired temperature at start-up
• Moveable slide support rails cater to different slide sizes
• Anti-bacterial paint finish to inhibit bacterial and viral growth
• Mini circuit breakers incorporated into the instrument eliminate the need for replacement fuses

The optional stainless steel Slimline Slide Drying Hotplate Lid (#28070-1) is available and can be used with slides in position on the hotplate. Use of the lid improves temperature control, further reduces drying times and improves overall heating efficiency.

Mini Hotplate

28080

The Mini Hotplate has a very small footprint, making it ideal for use at the microtome. It is predominantly used to remove stubborn wrinkles from tissue sections and re-orienting embedded tissue. It may also be used in microbiology for heat fixing bacterial smears. The hotplate features a matte black heated surface to provide a visual contrast for paraffin tissue sections, and reaches temperatures of up to 75° C. The body of the Mini Hotplate is coated with an anti-microbial paint finish that inhibits bacterial and viral growth.

Key Features:

• Ultra-fast heating system
• Small footprint
• Matte black hotplate surface provides contrast for section visualization
• Simple to use temperature controller, reaching temperatures of 75° C
• Anti-microbial powder coat finish

Mini Section/Slide Dryer

28148, 28148-230

The Mini Section/Slide Dryer has a small footprint designed to be used at the microtome for improved LEAN workflow. Air at a digitally controlled temperature is blown through the base of the instrument for rapid and efficient section drying without the risk of overheating the specimen. With this system, drying times can be reduced by approximately 75% compared to conventional ovens.

A large chamber has space for up to 6 slide racks (30 slide capacities), which can be inspected at any time through a transparent lid. Innovative resistance hinges on the lid allows users to easily position it at any angle. This allows both hands to be used when placing and removing items from the dryer. With the optional 4 Slide Rack Holder in place, the capacity is 4 slide racks of 30 slide capacity.

The optional LEAN Timer system and identifier rack ensures that each slide rack has an exact optimal drying time and provides both an audible and visual indication to users when a slide rack has fully completed drying. The LEAN Timer can monitor up to four slide racks.

Exterior Dimensions:
265mm W x 385mm D x 228mm H (10.43" x 15.16" x 8.98")

Interior Chamber Dimensions:
220mm W x 191mm D x 140mm H (8.67" x 7.52" x 5.51")

High Capacity Section/Slide Dryer

28149, 28149-230

The High Capacity Section/Slide Dryer is like the Mini Section/Slide Dryer but larger in size to accommodate twice the volume of slides. Designed to give maximum drying capacity for high workload laboratories, the High Capacity Section Dryer has space for up to 13 slide racks (30 slide capacities). When two 4 slide rack holders are used, capacity is 8 slide racks holding 30 slides each.

Exterior Dimensions:
469mm W x 320mm D x 346mm H (18.46" x 12.6" x 13.63")

Interior Chamber Dimensions:
437mm W x 240-270mm D x 198mm H (17.20" x 9.45-10.63" x 7.80")
