Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Aerospray® Gram series is designed to deliver high-quality staining with reliable operation. It functions as both a slide stainer and a cytocentrifuge, offering a higher value solution for laboratories.
Fixation
The system allows for heat fixation or automatic fixation with two selectable levels, ensuring reproducible specimen preparation.
Primary Stain
Slides are stained with crystal violet, which penetrates microbial cells, staining them dark blue-to-purple. The system offers three levels of crystal violet application.
Iodine Application
Iodine is used to form a precipitate with the crystal violet dye, with three selectable levels available.
Decolorizing and Counterstain
The decolorizer removes the crystal violet-iodine complex, leaving Gram-negative organisms decolorized. Safranine or fuchsin counterstains these cells pink-to-red. The system offers adjustable decolorizer cycles to accommodate specimen variability.
Drying
Slides are dried by spinning at 950 RPM for 45 seconds, making them ready for microscopic examination.
Advantages
The Aerospray Gram Stainer offers speed, no cross-contamination, consistent performance, economy, ease of use, and traceability. It processes slides rapidly, with a cycle time as short as 5 minutes, and can handle up to 300 slides per hour with the optional carousel.
Ease of Use and Control
The system features a user-friendly interface with a touch screen, language selection, and programmable settings. It includes features for maintenance reminders and reagent management.
Traceability
The system stores critical information such as reagent data and cycle history, which can be exported via USB. A barcode scanner is available for streamlined data entry.
Specifications
The Aerospray Gram Stainer is compatible with various sample chambers and offers customizable settings for staining preferences. It includes safety features like a lid interlock and reagent level detection.
Conclusion
The Aerospray Gram series provides a cost-effective, efficient, and reliable solution for Gram staining in laboratories, ensuring high-quality results with minimal user intervention.
