Key Features for US Clinical & Research Laboratories

48-Slide Capacity per Run – Process up to 48 slides in a single automated run. Suitable for mid- to high-volume histopathology labs, research institutes, and clinical diagnostic facilities.

64 Reagent Positions – Accommodate primary antibodies, secondary antibodies, chromogens (DAB, AEC, permanent red), buffers, and counterstains without frequent reloading.

Selectable Dispensing Volumes – Choose 50 µL, 100 µL, 150 µL, or 200 µL increments per reagent. Adjustable antibody dropping rates for different tissue section types (paraffin vs. frozen vs. cell smears).

Per-Run Reagent Volume Checks – Automated verification of sufficient reagent volumes before each run prevents incomplete staining.

User-Specified Protocols – Program and store custom IHC staining protocols. Each protocol can define reagent order, incubation times, temperature settings, and dispensing volumes.

Quiet Operation – ≤60 dB(A) noise level — suitable for open-plan laboratories without dedicated noise isolation.

Hands-Free Operation – Once loaded, the autostainer executes the entire IHC workflow without manual intervention, reducing technician time and handling variability.

Multi-Unit Management – Control several stainers from a single computer simultaneously — scalable for laboratories expanding IHC capacity.

Password Protection – Integrated access control prevents unauthorized protocol changes or run interruptions, supporting audit trail requirements.

Robust Design – Engineered for continuous daily operation in high-throughput histopathology and research environments.

Protocol selection – Load user-specified program from touchscreen or connected computer

Reagent loading – Place primary antibodies, secondary antibodies, chromogens, and buffers in 64 reagent positions

Automated processing – Deparaffinization (if applicable), antigen retrieval, antibody application, washing, chromogen development, counterstaining

Unload and coverslip – Slides ready for microscopic evaluation and archival

Multi-unit management allows one technician to operate multiple stainers simultaneously — scaling throughput without proportional staff increase.

Selection Criteria: When to Specify the LT-IS101

US laboratory managers evaluating IHC autostainers should consider the LT-IS101 for:

Requirement

LT-IS101 Capability

48 slides per run

Matches mid- to high-volume clinical and research labs

64 reagent positions

Supports complex multiplex IHC without frequent reloading

Adjustable dispensing (50–200 µL)

Optimizes reagent use for different tissue section types

Paraffin + frozen + cell smears

Versatile specimen compatibility across multiple lab sections

110V power

Direct US operation — no transformer required

Multi-unit computer control

Scalable for expanding IHC volume

Password protection

Meets CAP/CLIA audit trail expectations

Compare with lower-capacity systems (24–36 slides): The LT-IS101's 48-slide capacity reduces the number of runs per day, lowering reagent waste from daily startup/cleaning cycles and reducing technician hours spent loading/unloading.

Compare with higher-throughput systems (100+ slides): The LT-IS101 fits laboratories that do not require industrial-scale IHC but have outgrown benchtop manual or semi-automated stainers.
