Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tissue slide dryer used for?
It dries slides with tissue or cell samples to eliminate moisture before staining or microscopic analysis.

What is the recommended drying temperature?
The ideal temperature is typically 60 to 65°C, but it can be adjusted based on the type of tissue.

Does the equipment require special maintenance?
Routine cleaning and inspection of electrical components is advised for optimal performance.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:

• It accommodates up to 100 slides, making it perfect for high-throughput labs.
• Precise temperature control speeds up drying while preserving sample integrity.
• Durable construction with corrosion-resistant materials ensures longevity.
• Premium models offer advanced features like temperature memory and digital displays.

Disadvantages:

• Requires a constant power supply and dedicated space.
• The initial cost is higher than traditional drying methods.
• Caution is needed to adjust temperatures to prevent sample damage.

Product Use in the Field

After embedding and sectioning samples in paraffin, the slides are placed in the device’s rows. The drying process typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes, depending on tissue type and workload. The slope angle facilitates drainage, while digital control ensures even drying, preventing artifacts and improving sample adherence for analysis.

Recommendations

To enhance the Slide Dryer YR453’s performance, it is recommended to:

• Adhere to the recommended temperature range and avoid sudden increases.
• Clean the dryer surface daily to prevent residue buildup.
• Regularly verify the functioning of controls and safety alarms.
• Avoid overloading to ensure uniform drying across all slides.
