Leica Biosystems - ST5010 Autostainer XL
by Leica Biosystems










Slide strainer
The proven Leica Autostainer XL continues to provide reproducible, consistent, high-quality staining and increased workload throughput. Plus, combine it with the Leica CV5030 Glass Coverslipper to create a workstation that eliminates the manual handling of slide racks between staining and coverslipping. The flexibility of open consumables and reagents along with the option to use validated Surgipath reagents, consumables and protocols provide superior staining and coverslipping quality.
3RepliesTue Sep 23 2025 | Leica 5010 Autostainer XL "Head stalled" errors A client has a Leica 5010 which frequently reinitializes, very early into a program, and then usually errors with "Head stalled" or "Make sure that head is free of obstructions," which usually occurs at the extreme left or right end of X travel (but before it hits a physical stop). I have lubricated the guide rods and linear bearings - they are moving pretty freely. I have tried flexing the loom, while it was in motion, to see if there is any place where flexing causes an error, but have not found one. There are a couple of power resistors on the Head pcb - I resoldered those, just in case. I have cleaned and reseated various connectors. Has anyone run into this? Is it likely to be either the motor or the main control pcb? Reply |
