1 PATHOLOGY H&E Solution Dako CoverStainer Up to 240 H&E Slides Per Hour Bake Dewax Stain Dehydrate Coverslip Dry

2 The Auto mat ic Choice for H&E Dako CoverStainer - Truly Automated H&E Dako s state-of-the-art H&E solution fully automates every step of the H&E process from baking to drying. Providing the operational flexibility to meet laboratories special needs, it delivers consistent, high-quality results while maximizing productivity and optimizing resource utilization. The Dako H&E solution combines the advanced Dako CoverStainer with Dako Ready-to-Use (RTU) Reagents, a Dako validated pre-optimized protocol, and features Dako Reagent Management System (DakoRMS) an intelligent, automated reagent handling system that ensures consistent, high-quality staining.

3 Dako CoverStainer Throughput Up to 240 Slides Per Hour Bake Dewax Stain Dehydrate Coverslip Dry Excellent Quality Excellent quality staining is ensured when combining Dako CoverStainer s comprehensive capabilities with Dako s high quality Ready-to-Use reagents. Reduction of waste and loss of reagents is made simple by the DakoRMS automated staining procedure. DakoRMS ensures constant reagent circulation within sealed containers, increasing reagent longevity and controlling costs. The system minimizes the staff s exposure to reagents and improves the quality of the work environment. Dako CoverStainer offers a reagent loading area which is separate from the staining compartment. Great Consistency Consistently stain up to 3,000 slides with the same reagents to achieve accurate results. DakoRMS features reagent circulation minimizing precipitation while specially designed racks reduce carryover.

5 Dako CoverStainer Throughput Up to 240 Slides Per Hour Bake Dewax Stain Dehydrate Coverslip Dry DakoRMS Reagent Management System Dako Reagent Management System (DakoRMS) At the heart of Dako CoverStainer is the Dako Reagent Management System (DakoRMS). DakoRMS completely controls staining procedures to optimize consistency, reagent usage and operator safety. Constant reagent circulation prevents precipitation, leading to more accurate and consistent test results Specially designed slide racks ensure that only the slides are lowered into the reagent, minimizing carryover for great consistency of staining and reagent longevity Automated tank filling and disposal into closed containers reduces exposure to reagents Dako Ready-to-Use Reagents Combined with Dako CoverStainer and the Dako H&E validated prot ocol, Dako Ready-to-Use Reagents help reduce manual processes and streamline workflow. Easy-to-use, pre-f illed re agent cartridges minimize spills fo r greater safety Stora ge in closed containers eliminates evaporat at ion so that re agents last longer Dako Validated Protocol Dako s proven,va va lidated prot to col ensures optimized performanc e fo r routine H&E staining processes. Minimum operator dependence increases staining consistency Four diffe fe re nt protocols using the same reagents can run simultaneously, improving efficiency
