RAL StainBox
Semi-automated device for staining blood smears and bone marrow slides
- Minimal routine maintenance
- Out-of-the-box, methanol-free reagents
- Staining phases are monitored for standardisation
- RFID (radio frequency identification) technology for storing reagent traceability data and standard staining protocol
The RAL StainBox is a compact, semi-automated system for staining peripheral blood smears and bone marrow slides. It offers a suitable solution for laboratories with small workloads. Out-of-the-box, methanol-free MCDh reagents are used for staining the blood smears and bone marrow slides. The staining procedure is standardised through a software-controlled process.
Smear Workflow
The RAL StainBox is a part of the Smear Workflow concept, which optimises the preparation of peripheral blood smears for automated digital morphology. It comprises the RAL SmearBox and RAL StainBox with methanol-free reagents, combined with the CellaVision® DC-1. The concept seamlessly covers the whole haematology workflow so that you can provide results with consistently high quality.
