Description
Coplin staining trough made of glass, with lid is a classic laboratory vessel for immersion staining of microscope slides. The Coplin design holds slides vertically so that staining solutions contact the specimen surfaces efficiently while minimising reagent volume. Constructed from glass (unspecified), the trough includes a matching lid that limits evaporation and airborne contamination during staining protocols. Supplied as 1 pc with a gross weight of 0,362 kg, this item originates from Germany and belongs to standard laboratory material for histology, cytology and microbiology workflows. The glass body from manufacturer Hecht offers the chemical resistance expected for common aqueous and solvent-based dyes used in routine slide preparation. Laboratories performing Gram stains, differential stains or other immersion-based techniques benefit from the stable upright slide arrangement and the protective lid. The compact trough integrates easily into existing staining benches and supports reproducible sample processing without additional specialised equipment. Its straightforward glass construction facilitates cleaning between runs and long-term use in teaching or diagnostic settings.
This article is part of Microscope slides & cover glasses, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Coplin staining jar of glass, with cover
What is this article?
Coplin staining jar of glass, with cover is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hecht 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.
