Description
Staining trough made of glass in Coplin format holds up to five microscope slides for routine staining procedures in the laboratory. Manufactured from neutral glass (LBG N) and supplied with a lid, the vessel is intended for controlled immersion of slides during histological and cytological staining workflows. The Coplin configuration keeps slides upright and separated so staining solutions can contact both faces efficiently while minimising handling between steps. This glass staining trough from manufacturer Labbox is supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,325 kg, suitable for bench use in pathology, research and teaching laboratories. The matching lid helps limit evaporation and contamination of reagents during short incubations or temporary holding. Neutral glass construction supports compatibility with common aqueous and organic staining baths used in everyday microscopy preparation. Compact capacity for five slides makes the trough practical for small batches, individual cases or method development. Laboratories seeking a classic Coplin-style glass jar with lid for standard slide staining will find a straightforward, purpose-built accessory for daily specimen processing.

Questions about Staining jar, acc. to Coplin, for 5 slides
What is this article?
Staining jar, acc. to Coplin, for 5 slides is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox for laboratory use. It sits in Microscope slides & cover glasses, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A slide is the glass a specimen sits on. A cover glass is the thin sheet over it, of a thickness the objective was designed for. A cover glass of the wrong thickness softens the image. Charged and plain slides hold sections differently.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
