CHIEN STAINING PAD for TEM grids
These silicone rubber pads have a series of cut slots. When the pad is curved along the slots' axis, they open up and grids may be inserted. Pads hold grids vertically and single drops of staining solution can be applied to one or both sides of the grids . Washing by "flooding" or "irrigation" is safe and time effective. Vertical grid position reduces contamination. PSTlogo indicates top of pad and direction of slots.

GRID STAINING MATRIX SYSTEM
Designed to handle up to 25 grids at one time or as few as a single one.

Features:

• Greatly reduces the chance of mechanical damage
• Ensures equal staining and rinse times
• Simple alpha-numeric system for easy identification of each grid.

The plastics used are not acid resistant and the staining vessels are designed for aqueous solutions or stains dissolved in either ethanol or methanol. The Grid Staining Matrix System consists of four components: the staining matrix body with handle; matrix cover and two staining vessels.

Volume of stain required:
21 - 25 grids 11mL
16 - 20 grids 9mL
11 - 15 grids 7mL
06 - 10 grids 5mL
01 - 05 grids 3mL

How to use:
A. Remove the cover from the body and load the number of grids to be stained in the wells in the body. Start with the bottom row first and fill completely before moving to the next row.

B. Slide the cover over the body until the handle on the cover engages with the retaining pin on the handle of the body. You may need to gently lift the cover handle with a fingernail so that it will slide over the retaining pin and lock.

C. Place the matrix into an empty staining vessel. Add the appropriate volume of stain for the number of grids being processed by allowing the stain to flow down the inside of the vessel, using a pipette or similar tool. To remove trapped air in a grid containing well, move the matrix forward and then backward in the staining vessel. This will pull the trapped bubbles out of the wells. Be careful not to spill reagents during this process.

D. Rinsing grids in the matrix can be done in beakers or by using the staining vessel after it has been cleaned.

STAINING & INCUBATION TRAY WITH CLEAR LID, HIGH HUMIDITY
An ideal device for immunohistochemistry slide staining/ treatments and whenever specimens are stained for lengthy periods without drying and with only drops of solution. The StainTray™ has a black base made from tough ABS plastic, withstanding a wide range of chemicals (except chlorinated hydrocarbons). It will accept up to 20 slides on four plastic rails covered with a polymer strip, which grips the slides even if the tray is held at an angle. When humidity is needed, the wells between the rails will hold the water securely without splashing. Rails are raised not only to avoid water touching the slides but also make the slides more easily retrievable. The base will also catch excess stain solution that drips from the slides. Four rubber feet make the base more stable. Units are stackable to save space.
This tray is not only suitable for routine staining requiring a humid chamber but is also ideal for haematology, cytology and microscopy laboratories.

Two covers are available:
A clear cover, allowing for visual examination. Made from PETG with a temperature range of -20ºC to 60ºC.
A black cover for fluorescent work. Made from ABS with a temperature range of -80ºC to 80ºC.

Dimensions with the cover
20-Slide unit: 380 x 240 x 45mm.
