6. Workstation operation
6.1 Operation as ST5010 – CV5030 workstation
Both instruments are connected to each other
via a TS5015 Transfer Station.
• Specimen slide holders (77) are conveyed from
the unload station (75) into the transfer station
by a transfer arm (76).
• The message "STAINER PROC." appears on
the display.

• Afterwards, the specimen slide holder is trans-
fered to the CV5030, placed in the loading bath
and processed.
After the coverslipping operation, the empty
specimen slide holder is transferred back onto
the discharge chute of the transfer station. The
display shows "READY".
• If the discharge chute is already occupied
with two empty specimen slide holders, an
additional "TS FULL" message is shown in the
display of the CV5030.
• With a third specimen slide holder, the dis-
charge chute is completely occupied and
the robotic coverslipper emits a signal tone,
accompanied by the messages "TS FULL" and
"PAUSED". The robotic coverslipper is now
in pause mode. The specimen slide holders
now have to be removed, as otherwise work
cannot continue. To do so, confirm the signal
tone with the RESPOND button.

You have the ability to connect the robotic coverslipper to a Leica ST5010 (Autostainer XL) or
ST5020 (Multistainer) staining machine to create a workstation.
Make sure that the connection be-
tween the staining and coverslipping
machine is made using the interface
cable included in the standard scope
of delivery. In addition, when program-
ming the staining protocols, "EXIT"
must be entered as the last step. If you
do not observe this, the specimen slide
holders will NOT be transfered into the
coverslipper automatically.
