3.2 Instrument specifications
The Leica ST4020 is an automatic linear stain-
er designed for stand-alone use, and can be
used for staining frozen tissue sections in his-
tology labs as well as anatomical pathology
laboratories.
It is ideal for use in staining samples from either
Mohs technique laboratories or sections from
frozen section laboratories or general surgical
pathology. In addition it is intended to be used
in hematology, cytology, as well as performing
routine H & E stains.
The user loads the slides in a carrier that can
hold up to 4 slides at a time. The stainer pro-
vides 14 reagent stations that can be used as
reagent stations or running rinse water stations
and has an Exit Tank that can hold up to four
processed slide carriers.
The slides will remain in each reagent station for
a fixed programmable time that is applicable to
all stations during staining. Station time, number
of dips and start position are programmable.
