Siemens Hema-Tek 4488C Hematology Slide Stainer

Description

The Siemens Hema-Tek 4488C is a fully automated benchtop slide stainer designed for use in hematology. This self-contained instrument provides a continuous-feed loading platform, eliminating the need for time-consuming batch staining methods. It is capable of staining blood, bone marrow, and other fluid smears on standard glass slides with precision and consistency. The system utilizes peristaltic pumps to deliver fresh reagents in precise volumes for each slide, ensuring uniform staining from field-to-field. With its simple maintenance and consistent performance, the Hema-Tek 4488C helps to maximize productivity in the laboratory.
