Robot-Stainer HMS 740 – the multi-purpose slide stainer foInnovation in traditionMICROM is an innovative technologycompany and a world's leadingmicrotome manufacturer.The experience MICROM specialists gainedover years results in the development ofproducts of utmost reliability and userbenefit. Due to the close relationship withscientific in industry and research, ourproducts stand for continuous technicalinnovations and highest operator comfort.For decades Microm has defined thestandard in operational safety andergonomics in microtomy as well as inautomatic instruments for histological andcytological stainings.MICROM stands for:• Highest operator safety• Ergonomic design• Trend setting innovative technology• High quality standards• Excellent price/performance ratio• User-oriented functionality withan optimum of operator comfortand to the different requirements in a laballow the flexible usage in routine andresearch.High specimencapacityThe large numberof a total of42 stations (incl.4 rinsing,1 entry and3 exit stationsand up to34 reagentstations),combined with thepossibility of continuouslyloading and unloadingspecimen baskets and the capacity of30 slides per basket allow for a highspecimen capacity.Versatile possibilities;flexibilityThe Robot-Stainer HMS 740 canoptionally be equipped with4 heating stations and2 DI stations or with2 heated reagentstations dependingon the individualneeds of the user.Continuousloading andunloadingSlide StainerRobot-StainerHMS 740The reproducible high quality of thestainings and the versatile application turnthe Robot-Stainer HMS 740 into a universalsuitable slide stainer. Histological andcytological standard stainings as well asspecial stainings can be carried outsimultaneously in one instrument. Theindividual adaptability to user needsThe loading stationand the three exitstations are integrated ina user-friendly drawer. This way, slidebaskets can comfortably be inserted andremoved at any time without having toopen the instrument housing.*Accessories not included.

histology and cytology in routine and researchConstancy- Constant staining results- User-defined accuracy- Flexible timing for each reagent- Minimal carry-over- Permanent and independentagitationFor a better overview, the relevantinformation is shown on one single screen,e.g. currently calculated staining times,overall time, remaining time and real time.The position of the baskets is also shownon the screen.Quality- Protected reagents (light,oxidation, less filtering)- Minimal carry-over- Quality management(user-defined indication ofused-up reagents)Safety- Acoustic and visual alarm- Reduced speed whenopening the hood- Downwards ventilation flowand active charcoal filter systemfor reduction of vaporsAutomatic documentation- Automatic documentation of allrelevant staining parameters- Document managementfor certified institutions- All quality documents,parameters and protocols can betransferred from the slide stainerto an external computer system forfurther evaluation and qualitycontrol (QM-documentation)Password protectionThe password protected access to thedifferent user levels ensures safety ofpersonal settings. Via the qualitymanagement, each started protocol canoptimally be monitored.Uninterruptable powersupplyIn case of a power failure, the integrateduninterruptable power supply guaranteesthe operation of the instrument for another45 min. During this time, all runningprotocols are finished as planned.High-performancesoftwareThe most efficient run for each startedstaining protocol is calculated by thesoftware. In doing so, the reagent stations,the incubation and transportation timesare chosen optimally to execute each singleprotocol as fast as possible.

Unique drip preventerPermanently coveredstationsDI / tempered waterA unique drip preventing system isintegrated into the Robot-Stainer HMS740. After having removed the slide basketfrom the reagent container, the CP moduleis swiveled below the basket to eliminatedripping of the reagents. In doing so, thebasket is actively wiped off the lowmaintenancedrip collector. The absorbedliquids are collected in a reservoir.This reservoir is regularly emptied into arinsing station or into a defined wastestation.The patented CP module of our HMS 740considerably reduces reagent carry-overand provides a cost-saving staining processwith constant staining results.All stations are covered with lids to reduceoxidation and evaporation of reagents.During the protocol run, the lids areautomatically lifted and put on again sothat the stations are permanently covered.A second water connection for the directsupply of two additional baths of DI ortempered water supports special stainingsin an optimal way.

Standards newly definedEasy operationHeated reagent bathsBath racksThe 5 quick start buttons facilitate routineoperation considerably. By simply pressingone button, a staining program can directlybe started.The allocation of the buttons is freelyselectable and can be assigned to eachstored program to guarantee a fast andefficient run.2 heated and actively monitored reagentstations for special applications.Temperature can be controlled and turnedoff. Can also be used as a standard stationwithout having to replace the container.Bath layouts can be altered in an easy andfast way via interchangeable bath racksand pre-definition in the software. Fasthandling; cannot be mixed up. Differentsizes for special stainings. 4 baths can bereplaced simultaneously per rack. This way,the configuration of the required reagentscan easily and rapidly be altered.
