The Ral Diagnostics RAL STAINER automated stainer is a medical device used for the automated staining of samples in the laboratory. With its advanced technology and precise features, it enables reliable and reproducible results in staining procedures.
The staining process can be a complicated task that requires knowledge, patience, and a controlled environment, especially when dealing with mycobacteria. However, with the RAL STAINER automated staining unit from Ral Diagnostics, this task becomes much easier. Compact, efficient, and flexible, the RAL STAINER features an original radiofrequency identification (RFID) system that eliminates potential protocol errors, ensuring the safety of employees without requiring changes to staining practices. Additionally, a new generation of reagents offers additional advantages, such as easy and quick slide reading, making it ideal for routine analyses.
Alcohol-acid resistant staining (AFB) is crucial for detecting mycobacteria, and ensuring safety during the process is essential. With the RAL STAINER, standardization of the staining process is ensured, guaranteeing consistency and reproducibility, regardless of the responsible technician, thanks to programmable custom protocols. This workflow ease not only optimizes efficiency but also promotes a safer environment for everyone involved.
The RAL STAINER from Ral Diagnostics offers a completely closed system that significantly simplifies the staining process. With reagent bottles placed directly into the device, there is no need for transfers, reducing the risk of contamination and human error. Additionally, the absence of direct reagent handling makes the procedure safer and more reliable.
One of the advantages of the RAL STAINER is its low daily maintenance requirement. Level detectors for reagents, wash water, and the waste container ensure that the system operates efficiently and safely without constant user intervention. Furthermore, the comprehensive traceability menu allows detailed monitoring of all staining process steps.
To ensure safety and compliance, the RAL STAINER offers a customizable and locked user management configuration. This allows administrators to control access and permissions for each user, ensuring data integrity and compliance with regulatory standards.
The RAL STAINER is also designed with ease of use in mind, including a waste container for easy and safe waste disposal. Additionally, a charcoal filter neutralizes reagent vapors, providing a safer working environment for operators. With all these features, the RAL STAINER offers a complete and efficient solution for the automated staining needs in medical laboratories.
For laboratories that traditionally perform AFB staining manually, the process is meticulous and follows a strict protocol. Although time-consuming, procedures have been developed over time with a well-defined logic. With the introduction of the RAL STAINER, the same principle applies. Technicians can follow existing procedures, as we understand that the easiest way to adopt automation is to integrate it into established processes. Therefore, extensive training is not required, as users continue with the same habits but now enjoy faster, easier staining with improved standardization, reliability, and safety in results.
The RAL STAINER offers the flexibility to create and save up to 9 different protocols, allowing laboratories to customize the process according to their specific needs. Additionally, the ability to process up to 20 slides simultaneously significantly increases efficiency, allowing more samples to be processed in less time.
An additional feature that contributes to the efficiency of the RAL STAINER is automated drying, configurable through an integrated fan. This eliminates the need for manual slide drying, providing a faster and more consistent process. These combined features make the RAL STAINER an ideal choice for laboratories looking to improve the efficiency and accuracy of AFB staining.
World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines recommend fluorescence as the reference method for staining samples, highlighting the effectiveness of Thiazine Red, stating that "less experienced users found focusing easier and reading less tiring in colorations with colored backgrounds (Auramine/Methylene Blue/Thiazine Red)". The RAL STAINER and its reagents are designed to ensure that your laboratory is aligned with these updated guidelines.
The RAL STAINER offers the flexibility to perform two distinct stainings - fluorescence and Ziehl-Neelsen - on the same equipment, allowing laboratories to meet the demands of different sample types without the need for additional equipment. Additionally, easy switching between staining kits, without the need for cleaning between procedures, further increases process efficiency.
A highlighted feature of the RAL STAINER is the intense fluorescence provided by the reagents, ensuring clear and accurate results without unwanted artifacts. Additionally, the presence of Thiazine Red in the reagents helps users focus on the slide, making reading easier and faster, especially for those with less experience.
The unique chemical fixing solution used by the RAL STAINER plays a crucial role in preventing cross-contamination between samples, ensuring reliable results free from external interference. With all these features, the RAL STAINER emerges as an ideal choice for laboratories looking to adopt the best practices recommended by the WHO for staining samples efficiently and accurately.
