Product Description

The LW Scientific CytoPrep Fix and Dry Station is an all-in-one, precision-controlled thermal system specifically designed to simplify and standardize cell and slide preparation in cytology, histology, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) laboratories.

Features:

  • Safely heat-fixes cytologies and quickly dries slides for rapid microscopy results
  • Dry up to 5 or 10 slides in a minute using a warm, gentle air stream, while slides rest in the removable, washable slide rack
  • Most efficient and convenient cytology prep device available, saving time, valuable counter space, and improving laboratory results
  • Uniquely streamlines workflows by handling both fixation and drying processes with consistent, uniform heat, reducing variability and enhancing efficiency
  • Precise digital PID temperature control ensures even heating across all trays, which is critical for reducing evaporation during reagent pre-treatment
  • Compact benchtop design with intuitive digital interface
  • Includes reusable, autoclavable slide trays that are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and interchangeable. This provides significant flexibility to adapt to various laboratory protocols and sample volumes
  • Common Applications:
    • Slide preparation for PAP and non-gynecological cytology
    • Fixation and thermal prep for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence staining
    • Evaporation prevention during reagent pre-treatment
    • Routine cell sample heating before staining
  • Designed, engineered, and assembled in the USA
