The Artisan Staining System is a new generation of staining automation, providing you with the flexibility of manual staining coupled with the precision and consistency of automation. The Artisan has the ability to simultaneously perform both special stains and immunohistochemical (IHC) stains in the same run. The reagent carousel with up to 50 reagent packs and the slide carousel with up to 48 slides independently rotate to the position specified by the preprogrammed or customized staining protocols. Slide clips create a reaction chamber which allows the addition of any reagent to any of the 48 slide positions, providing users with the flexibility to load any special stain or IHC procedure in any slide position.
