5.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLES
RAL Stainer is an automatic bath staining appliance.
A arm which follows a circular and vertical path successively:
- Hooks the slide holder installed by the user;
- Brings the slide holder into each staining tank and then into the rinsing tank depending on the recorded
protocol;
- Returns the slide holder to its initial position.
- The slides are then dried.
Staining is complete.

It is possible to switch from one kit to the other, from one application to another: RAL Stainer keeps the data
about all the kits being used in memory.

It is possible to print a report giving the correlation of work dates, users, staining and the product batch used.
5.3 SAFETY
Vapour emanation is limited because the loading/unloading of the reagents and slides is carried out using
drawers.
Each tank is closed using a sealed lid inside the appliance.
The cover need not be opened other than for cleaning operations.
RAL Stainer has a ventilation system which uses an activated carbon filter to evacuate all possible residual
vapour (Warning when the filter needs to be changed).
The arm is fitted with a level sensor which adjusts the slide immersion height depending on the liquid
remaining in the containers.
The draining of the solutions is carried out by the appliance itself thanks to a peristaltic pump which directs
towards the waste bin (10 L), thus avoiding dangerous handling.
The waste bin level will be automatically detected in order to avoid any overflow.
The level of rinsing liquid will be automatically detected to avoid launching staining without rinsing liquid.
Drainage holes and a reservoir tank can collect liquids in case of leak.
