HistoCore SPECTRA Workstation

The first and only solution in the market with dual glass coverslip lines enabling the highest throughput: up to 570 dried slides per hour. With an integrated hot air drying oven, it achieves a drying time of only 5 minutes, providing the fastest turnaround time for your lab.

The dual and independent coverslip lines don’t just deliver the highest throughput, they also give users the flexibility to manually load slides in a continuous workflow. In addition, the coverslipper features an enhanced lay down mechanism, a smooth handling process (push method for coverslipping readiness), and validated ready-to-use consumables with RFID technology. These consumables include the HistoCore SPECTRA CV X1 rapid drying, xylene-based mounting media. An antioxidant is added to inhibit stain fading and prevent the formation of annual rings. It sets up quickly, allowing slide preparations to be handled immediately after mounting.

The 9-rack output drawer can handle a total capacity of 270 slides. That allows users to focus on the many other important tasks throughout the lab.

Rest easy knowing the slides processed are of consistently high quality. Leica Biosystems’ validated protocols and the HistoCore SPECTRA H&E Staining System eliminate day-to-day variation. Better yet, these H&E stains provide the clarity and definition to help speed diagnostic efficiency for pathologists and patients.

HistoCore SPECTRA CV X1 is a rapid drying, xylene based mounting media. An antioxidant is added to inhibit stain fading and prevent the formation of annual rings. It sets up quickly, allowing slide preparations to be handled immediately after mounting. SPECTRA X1 is soluble in xylene, toluene, and most xylene substitutes.

HistoCore SPECTRA CV Coverglass allows for maximum reduction of fingerprints due to ready-to-use coverglass cartridges. Enhanced packaging reduces broken coverglass and humidity.
