Slide Stainer

Manual slide preparation opens up the possibility of errors and inconsistencies. These can slow down your lab and reduce your clinical effectiveness. Now you can improve slidemaking processes, while you optimize your laboratory’s hematology workflow. The DxH Slidemaker Stainer II (SMS II) prepares slides automatically based on orders received from your LIS. Select your own criteria for blood film preparation and define your own staining protocols. Receive high-quality slides on first pass, speeding the decision-making process and aiding cell classification and diagnosis. With the DxH SMS II, you can lower costs, while you ramp up productivity and quality.
