Autostainer XL (ST5010)
AutoStainer XL offers some unique features not available in other stainers and these are explained in subsequent sections. Firstly, slide racks are loaded and unloaded by means of drawer, not by opening the lid. If the instrument is free to accept a rack for staining the Load LED will be on. After loading, the Load key must be pressed to inform the instrument to begin processing. Similarly, if a rack is finished staining in the Exit drawer the Exit LED will be on.
