Automatic sample preparation system DP360

roboticfor histologyfor histology laboratories

Overview
The integrated automatic workstation for histology laboratories. The DP360 slide stainer and CS600 coverslipper are engineered to operate together without additional connectors, while remaining fully functional as separate instruments. Designed for high-throughput, traceable staining and coverslipping workflows.

Key features

• True walk-away staining and coverslipping — Seamless synchronization between DP360 and CS600 enables automated end-to-end processing without manual linkage.
• Utility (DP360 Stainer) — Built-in oven and adjustable wash stations support various protocols. Fast robotic arm lifts racks up to 1 m/s for precise soak times and performs agitation and leaching to reduce cross-contamination.
• Extended consistent result (DP360 Stainer) — Automatic Adjustment Technology (AAT) compensates for reagent dilution by extending step times as needed. Reagent consumption, replenishment and expiry reminders are recorded and displayed. Optional heated reagent stations enhance staining intensity.
• Improved efficiency (CS600 Coverslipper) — Ventilated, heated output carousel for rapid slide delivery and storage capacity up to 300 finished slides to streamline workflow.
• Consumables management (CS600 Coverslipper) — Sensors monitor mounting medium and cleaning reagent levels; remaining quantities of coverslips and mounting medium are shown on the interface to prevent interruptions.
• Traceability and connectivity — Protocol synchronization between instruments, run and reagent logging, and embedded barcode scanning for slide identification and tracking during mounting.
