Removing the caps from the bottles once they have been placed in the
appliance avoids any dangerous handling such as the spilling of the
reagent.
If the kit is new, turn the caps a quarter turn to break the seals.
4. Then gently close the reagent loading drawers until you hear a "click"as they
lock.
It is important that the necks of the bottles be free from reagent so
that the level sensor can adjust the soaking height of the slides in the
reagents.
Remove the tamper-proof seal, the can disturb the arm movement.
5. The appliance closes the covers of the reagent housings.
RAL Stainer identifies the staining kit that was placed
in the appliance and proposes a "Standard" protocol.
It is possible to vary the protocol settings (time, mixing, rinsing). See section 10.3.

can also be used to change staining kits during their use.
10.2.2 RINSING SOLUTION
Fill the container reserved for this use with the adequate rinsing liquid for the stain being used. Refer to the
staining kit instructions.
Adapt the cap with the suction cane to the rinsing container.
In the case of a low consumption of rinsing water, RAL Instruments recommends the regular
replacement of rinsing water in order to prevent the proliferation of bacteria and to clean the rinsing
liquid container weekly. See section 12.
RAL Stainer permanently checks the level of the rinsing liquid and notifies you when the level
becomes critical.
10.3 STAINING PROTOCOL
10 protocols can be memorised by the appliance.
The protocols proposed by default are protocols optimised by RAL Diagnostic in collaboration with
expert laboratories.
Due to the complex actions of the stainers, it is necessary to establish standard staining conditions
to ensure good staining quality and reproduction.
We therefore advise to test and assess the protocols tested by RAL Diagnostics before making any
changes to the protocol settings.
