Product specifications
Using a modular design, the TCA 44-720 makes it easy to take the step from manual transfer to automation – even if you are on a budget, taking up only as much space as is absolutely necessary to accomodate the two units side-by-side, not requiring bulky transfer solutions. Building on the merits of the valued TST family of stainers, the combination is augmented by directly attaching our ACS 720 unit, bringing an impressive 500 slides per hour (est.) cover slipping capability. As an added plus, our innovative slide processing technology inside the unit will return the slides inside the original staining basket and in the correct order, making identification of specially stained batches easier than ever.
