Leica ST5020 Multistainer . . . with unmatched flexibility for better results
The Leica ST5020 Multistainer with a new level of flexibility to achieve perfect staining results is the instrument of choice for modern histology and cytology laboratories.
Based on a modular design principle, the Leica ST5020 Multistainer can be easily set up to meet individual laboratory needs. Both routine and special staining protocols can be performed alone or in combination to produce consistent and high-quality staining results.
Programs can be started automatically with the innovative CodeRack based on a color code, which significantly reduces potential user errors.

The innovative and patented robotic arm moves the slides through the staining cabinet precisely according to the staining protocol. [. . . ] The simple operation and advanced engineering of the CV5030 will provide years of reliable use. The Leica CV5030 Glass Coverslipper in your laboratory today prepares you for the laboratory of tomorrow. Capable of being integrated with the Leica ST5020 Multistainer, the Leica CV5030 will eliminate the traditionally manual process of transferring stained slides from stainer to coverslipper, and create a truly consolidated workstation.
The glass coverslipper that adapts to the needs of your laboratory. . . with the ability to adapt
The easy-to-use control panel enables settings to be customized to meet your specific laboratory requirements. Simply select the ideal set-up for different samples.
The coverslip station accepts different sizes of coverglass and automatically discards broken ones. Samples are safely and permanently covered to assure consistent, high quality coverslipping.
The dispenser parking station stores the nozzle in reagent and safely maintains mountant dispensing integrity.
The load vessel accepts up to 60 slides and can be filled with reagent, which increases throughput and allows wet or dry coverslipping
The Leica ST5020 Multistainer and the CV5030 Coverslipper in combination . . . the first truly integrated, fully automated staining/coverslipping workstation!

Experience a new level of automation in staining and coverslipping.
For the first time ever a routine stainer and glass coverslipper can be combined to set up an integrated, fully automated staining / coverslipping workstation. Together, the Leica ST5020 Multistainer and the CV5030 Coverslipper create a highly flexible system featuring walk-away convenience. After a staining process is finished, the slide racks are transported by the innovative robotic arm from the stainer into the coverslipper. The manual handling of racks between stainer and coverslipper is no longer necessary.
