Description

The TISSUE SLIDE DRYER is a high-capacity, precision-engineered device designed to streamline slide preparation in histology, pathology, and cytology laboratories. With dimensions of 256 x 188 x 52 mm and the ability to accommodate up to 100 slides (arranged in 10 rows of 10), this slide dryer offers exceptional throughput for busy labs. Its temperature range spans from 0°C to 99°C, with a control precision of ±1°C, ensuring optimal drying conditions for delicate tissue samples. The 60° slope angle facilitates easy placement and removal of slides, while the robust 900W power system and universal voltage compatibility (AC110V~120V / AC220V~240V) guarantee reliable operation. The compact design (330 x 375 x 130 mm, 6 kg) allows for convenient benchtop use without sacrificing performance.

Market Price Overview

Tissue slide dryers are typically priced between $500 and $2,000 USD, depending on their capacity, temperature control features, and brand reputation. Models with digital controls, over-temperature alarms, and advanced safety features, like the TISSUE SLIDE DRYER, are positioned in the mid to upper range of this spectrum, reflecting their enhanced functionality and reliability.
