Complete Product Description

The Leica CV5000 Cover Slipper is a robotic, fully automated glass coverslipping instrument. It is capable of high-throughput coverslipping of several hundred slides per hour. Standard glass slides and glass coverslips can be processed.

Easy operation and high safety standards for both operator and specimen are the most cited benefits of the Leica CV5000 Cover Slipper. Simple loading and unloading mechanisms provide easy access. The entire instrument can be operated by only three push-buttons.

Slides are processed on an assembly line with precise and reproducible results. A wide range of resinous mountants are suitable and both volume and flow rate can be optimised easily. Coverslip laydown is accurate and bubble-free. A special sensor detects and removes any broken coverslips. The fume control system incorporates an activated carbon filter and can be connected to a fume exhaust system.

Both in design and accessories the Leica CV5000 Cover Slipper is compatible with the robotic slide stainer Leica Autostainer XL. Thus it may be used as a stand-alone unit or in combination with the Leica Autostainer XL as an integrated staining/coverslipping station.
