WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE AGS-1000 UNIT OVER MANUAL GRAM STAINING?
• The AGS-1000 is not “technique dependent”. You get consistency no matter who processes the slide. With our patented electronic eye, decolorization is perfect every time. • There is no cross-contamination. The AGS-1000 uses fresh stain for each sample slide. • No more filtering of stains as with the manual process. This saves time and eliminates the mess. • The AGS-1000 has independently adjustable stain times on both the long and short cycles. It also has the option of decolorizing only if the operator chooses to do so. • The AGS-1000 allows the user to do other tasks while the slide is processing. • No technical expertise is required to do a quality Gram Stain. As long as the sample is properly heat fixed, anyone can now perform the Gram Staining process with confidence. • Fewer fluids are used saving the lab disposal fees. The AGS-1000 does not have to be placed by sink – can be placed beside a microscope. Clean sinks are the future while improving your lab work flow. • Spend more
