Aerospray TB Acid-Fast Bacteria Stainer & Cytocentrifuge
Model 7721

Discovery Diagnostics, Canadian distributor for Wescor's Aerospray TB Acid Fast Bacteria Stainer & Cytocentrifuge for laboratory testing

Wescor Model 7721 Aerospray TB Acid Fast Bacteria Stainer & Cytocentrifuge stains microscope slides smeared with materials containing acid-fast microorganisms such as culture materials, body fluids, or exudates. Wescor reagents are tailored to give superb results in our Acid-Fast Bacteria Slide Stainer/Cytocentrifuge.

Never before has staining microorganisms been so easy, fast or economical. The Acid-Fast Bacteria Slide Stainer/Cytocentrifuge performs either carbol fuchsin or fluorescence procedures by exchanging reagents and selecting the appropriate program on the keyboard. Simply select from 6 different stain settings and start the staining cycle. That's all you have to do because the stainer takes over from there, precisely controlling all phases of the stain cycle with consistent reproducibility.

The Acid-Fast Bacteria Slide Stainer/Cytocentrifuge is exceptionally sparing in reagent consumption, giving you versatile full or partial load programming options that significantly reduce reagent volumes and cost required for staining different sized loads. An optional 30-slide carousel brings high volume economy within reach of every laboratory.

The Acid-Fast Bacteria Slide Stainer is also a fully capable cytocentrifuge with the purchase of the optional Cytopro® rotor. One of the greatest functions of the Wescor Aerospray stainers is their ability to be utilized as a cytocentrifugation instrument. For the cost of the optional Cytopro rotor, the Wescor Aerospray stainers becomes a full featured cytocentrifuge with an 8 slide capacity and keyboard programmability at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a stand-alone cytocentrifuge.

Acid-Fast Bacteria Stains

Rapid Performance
With a cycle time as short as 4.5 minutes, the Acid-Fast Bacteria Slide Stainer/Cytocentrifuge can process more than 150 slides per hour (up to 360 slides with the optional 30-slide carousel). No more waiting for slides to dry-they're ready to view when the staining cycle ends.

No Cross Contamination
In all Aerospray stainers, fresh reagent is applied as an atomized spray on slides mounted in a rotating carousel. Specimens contact only fresh, precisely metered stain from separate spray nozzles. No cross contamination is possible.

Carbol Fuchsin Or Fluorescence Staining On Demand
The Acid-Fast Bacteria Slide Stainer/Cytocentrifuge can be configured for Kinyoun, Ziehl-Neelsen, auramine or auramine/rhodamine staining methods.
