General Description
The automatic coverslipper Tissue-Tek
®
Glas
™
g2
(Figure 1-A) is a system that dispenses mounting medium
onto stained histopathological and cytopathological
samples on glass slides and coverslips the samples using
cover glasses.
• Up to 240 slides (corresponding to 12 baskets) can
be coverslipped in a continuous manner.
• The dispense volume of mounting medium and
coverslipping speed can be adjusted in real time.
• Different dispense volumes of mounting medium and
coverslipping speeds can be programmed according
to different tissue thicknesses.
• For best results, it is recommended to use the
Tissue-Tek
®
Glas™ Mounting Medium, product code
6419 (Bottle size is 500 mL).
• Drying fans are provided to reduce the drying time
after coverslipping.
• Activated carbon filters can be used to minimize
hazardous fumes.
• Using an optional link system, link the g2 with an
automatic slide strainer (Tissue-Tek
®
Prisma
®
), to
achieve automation of all tissue operations from
staining to coverslipping.
