Leica ST4040

High Throughput Linear Staining System

The Leica ST4040 was designed to meet the current and future needs of today’s high throughput laboratories. The modular design system allows multiple instrument configurations to match the unique specimen volume and workflow of your Histology or Cytology laboratory.

High throughput and flexibility

• Specimen throughput can be doubled with the addition of a second, identical staining track next to the first track supplied with the instrument. This allows simultaneous staining of two, 20 slide capacity racks.
• Two separate, time synchronized staining protocols can be run simultaneously on the Leica ST4040. Imagine running your H&E slides at the same time as your PAP slides on the same instrument.
• The dual staining track allows non time synchronized protocols to be run consecutively without the time consuming process of removing reagents.
• The small instrument footprint provides maximum throughput capacity without taking up valuable bench space.

Improving the laboratory environment

• Reduce technician exposure to hazardous reagent fumes. The Leica ST4040 can be outfitted with either a charcoal fume control filter or a fume exhaust hose for direct venting to a fume hood.
• The three section instrument cover further reduces fume exposure by allowing technicians to only open the instrument in the zone they are working in, slide rack loading, reagent management, or slide rack removal.
• Water usage is conserved with the automated water flow control Wash station water flow is only operational when slide/racks are processing.

Optional loading and unloading stations

Optional loading and unloading stations are available to increase capacity and assist in workflow management by providing even more reagent capacity and allowing batch loading and unloading of racks.

Ergonomic design

The low height and shallow depth of the instrument allows easier access to reagent containers and slide racks. This new design eliminates unnecessary high lift over.

The system solution for staining and coverslipping

The Leica ST4040 combined with the Leica CV5030 coverslipper provides the ideal system solution for high throughput slide processing. Available slide rack adaptors allow the use of the 20 slide rack in the Leica CV5030.

a.)     CV5030 adapter for permanent installation, 20 capacity slide rack

b.)     Individual slide rack adapter. Used when running Leica 20 and 30 slide capacity racks.
