Applications and Experiments for the Horizontal Staining Rack
The rack lets a batch of up to twelve smears be flooded with stain, timed and rinsed together, instead of handling slides one at a time. Laid across a sink or tray, it keeps the slides level so that stain covers each smear evenly, which makes it handy clinical laboratory equipment for routine staining.
- Haematology: staining thin and thick blood films for cell morphology and parasite examination.
- Microbiology: Gram and other flood-staining methods on bacterial smears.
- DMLT and B.Sc. practicals: staining student smears as a batch, then rinsing them gently with a Plastic Wash Bottle 250ml.
- Mixed methods: flood-staining on the rack for some steps and dipping in a Coplin Jar Staining for others.
Wear gloves and eye protection when handling stains, treat blood smears as potentially infectious, and rinse the rack after each session.
