DESCRIPTION

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.

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?

Autostainer doesn't start

Hello!
I have an issue with this machine and I hope someone might be able to help me.
When I turn on the machine, the display gives a very short flash of light but that's it, no further action. Does anyone know what this is? The manual doesn't cover this and I've checked all the logical options (fuses, properly plugged in etc)
