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
