Leica ST5020 Multistainer
... with unmatched flexibility
for better results
The Leica ST5020 Multistainer with a new level of flexibility to achieve perfect
staining results is the instrument of choice for modern histology and cytology
laboratories.
Based on a modular design principle, the Leica ST5020 Multistainer can be easily
set up to meet individual laboratory needs. Both routine and special staining
protocols can be performed alone or in combination to produce consistent and
high-quality staining results.
Programs can be started automatically with the innovative CodeRack
based on a color code, which significantly reduces potential
user errors.
Smart software features optimize staining
quality and provide an easy-to-use interface:
• Real-time process representation on
a color touch-screen
• Fast and direct data entry and retrieval
• Multilingual software with graphical
user interface
• Context-sensitive on-line help
• Simple and effective parameter settings

The innovative and patented robotic arm moves the slides through the staining cabinet precisely according
to the staining protocol. It is possible to process up to 12 racks simultaneously with multiple staining
applications.
Data entry and retrieval are particularly easy with the
large, solvent-resistant color touch-screen. The
instrument and staining process can be closely
monitored using the graphical process representation
on screen. The new Reagent Management System
(RMS) checks the use of reagents and helps to improve
staining quality and economy.
Racks are inserted and
removed through an ergo-
nomic 2-drawer system.
The drawer capacity can
be customized to provide
either increased staining
flexibility or access for
up to 4 racks at any one
time.
Racks are automatically
assigned to the correct
staining protocol by
means of a patented
CodeRackTM technology
based on a transponder
and color-code system.
Optional oven modules
with up to 4 racks allow
slide drying and dewaxing
for completely automated slide processing.
A unique, multiple-valve
design activates water
flow only when it is really
needed - thus reducing
water consumption
significantly.
An optional special
staining module with 2
heated reagent stations
and an accessory kit
enables the automation
of common special
staining protocols.
