A prototype immunostainer, featuring totally enclosed slide chambers, a reagent carousel and a microcomputer controlled fluid transfer system, was developed. The machine offers total flexibility in choice of primary and detection reagents for each slide and has been successfully used for the immunochemical demonstration of a variety of antigens in paraffin wax and blood smear preparations. It is considerably cheaper to use than manual immunochemistry and will be even cheaper in a production version currently under development.
研发出了一种原型免疫染色机,其特点是具有完全封闭的载玻片腔室、试剂转盘和微电脑控制的流体传输系统。该机器在为每张载玻片选择一抗和检测试剂方面具有完全的灵活性,并且已成功用于石蜡切片和血涂片标本中多种抗原的免疫化学显示。其使用成本比手工免疫化学要低得多,而目前正在研发的量产版本成本会更低。
