Project:

Leica HistoCoreSPECTRA CV + HistoCore SPECTRA ST Workstation will be replacing the older model (Leica ST 5020)

automated stainer and coverslipper currently being used in the histology lab for formalin fixed tissue for histological and

immunohistochemistry staining.

Technical Requirements / Tasks:

• Reduce reagent consumption and effort with RFID and single slide counter.

• The unique dual-robotic arm technology enables increased efficiency by 20% compared to other marketleading platforms when processing H&E and special stains.

• Dual glass coverslip lines enabling the highest throughput of up to 570 dried slides per hour.

• Quality-consistent results from slide 1 to 1600 using Leica Biosystems validated protocols and specifically designed consumables. Ready-to-use HistoCore SPECTRA S1-800 and S2-800 Staining System for low volume laboratories delivers consistency from slide 1 to 800.

• 52 cuvette stations enable H&E and special stains to run simultaneously

• Precise control over reagent conditions, and coordinate reagent exchange using RFID-monitored

consumables, color-coded rack technology, and a unique slide counter. Together, these features minimize

user errors, save time, control costs, and reduce waste in the lab.

• Staining H&E and additional (2-3) special stains that can be programmed on the automated stainer.
