Built for low-throughput labs
GyroStainer brings repeatable automated Pap staining to small batches, where commercial high-throughput stainers are too costly, large and reagent-hungry.

Overview
Compact autostainer for low throughput workflows.
GyroStainer is designed around low-throughput Pap staining: small slide batches, compact bench footprint, reduced reagent volumes and repeatable protocol execution.
Compact by design
The rotary bath layout keeps the machine footprint small while preserving the familiar open-bath staining workflow.
Efficient reagent use
One 250 ml station and eight 150 ml reagent stations support complete staining sequences while reducing the reagent overhead associated with larger automated platforms.
Transparent lid provides protective cover for the staining area while keeping the loading and staining process visible.
For small-batch precision
Where slide volumes are low, but timing and process consistency matter.
For constrained benches
Compact rotary layout keeps the footprint compact.
For easier operation
Touchscreen and browser interface guide the operator through saved, repeatable protocols.
For lean reagent workflows
Low bath volumes avoid reagent overhead of larger automated staining platforms.
Features
Everything needed for controlled small-batch staining.
The machine focuses on what matters in a lean cytology workflow: repeatable timing, low reagent overhead, simple control and a compact layout.
Programmable staining workflow
Run saved protocols with defined station order, immersion time, rinse count, shake-off time and final holder state.
Repeatable timing and motion
Automated station indexing, vertical immersion, rinsing and shake-off reduce dependence on manual timing and operator rhythm.
Touchscreen operation
Select a protocol, choose the slide count, review the run summary and monitor progress directly on the integrated touchscreen.
Wi-Fi browser control
Use a PC to wirelessly run protocols, monitor progress, edit protocol files and adjust settings through the browser interface.
Small slide batches
Process 1 to 6 slides per run, a practical size for triage, research, special stains and small laboratories.
Integrated fan drying
A dedicated drying station supports the programmed workflow.
Protocol editing
Protocols are completely customisable so the staining sequence can be adapted to any workflow.
Clear safety controls
The machine includes defined power controls, emergency-stop recovery guidance and manual procedures for routine operation.
Bath Layout & Reagent Economy
Compact bath volumes, complete staining sequence.
GyroStainer combines a fan-drying station with one 250 ml bath and eight 150 ml reagent stations. This supports compact staining workflows and avoids the excess reagent volume use of larger platforms. Ideal for low throughput Pap staining, special stains and research labs.

Practical station configuration
The larger 250 ml bath supports steps that benefit from added capacity like distilled water and rinsing, while the eight 150 ml stations cover the reagent sequence used for compact Pap, special stain and research protocols.
Workflow fit
A compact bath map gives small labs automated timing and repeatable movement while preserving bench space and providing compatibility with small chemical fume hoods.
Slide Holder
Quick-release button keeps holder interaction simple.
Slide the holder into place for auto-locking and press the button for quick release.
Control Interfaces
Simple controls at the bench and in the browser.
Use the integrated touchscreen for everyday operation, or connect through the browser interface for protocol setup and run monitoring.

Workflow
A familiar staining process with automated timing.
Operators prepare the baths and load the slides. GyroStainer then executes the saved sequence with consistent timing and movement.
01
Prepare
Fill reagent baths.
02
Load
Load slides and insert holder.
03
Start
Select a protocol and click start. GyroStainer does the rest.
Open-bath logic
Keeps the staining workflow recognizable while removing the manual timing burden.
Guided operation
Saved protocols and clear run summaries keep the process simple for staff run after run.
