Product Overview
The Roundfin RS-4 is a fully automated linear slide stainer designed for mid-volume histology and pathology laboratories. Featuring a color touch screen with 6 programmable staining modes, 18 reagent tanks (1000ml each) plus 1 wash tank and 1 drying tank, and a robotic arm with automated shaking and draining to minimize dye carry-over, the RS-4 delivers consistent, high-quality H&E and special staining in a space-efficient linear format.
The RS-4 processes 45pcs slides per batch and supports 2 programs running simultaneously for up to Max 90pcs slides. The heating tank is adjustable from 0-99°C, with processing time per tank (0-99min59s) and shaking frequency (0-9 seconds). A single-cylinder open/close design reduces reagent volatilization, while the exhaust filtration system with ozone purification maintains lab safety. Free switching between automatic and manual modes. CE; ISO 13485 certified with 1 year warranty and lifetime technical support.

FAQ
How many slides can the RS-4 process?
45pcs slides per batch, up to Max 90pcs slides when running 2 programs simultaneously with different staining protocols.
Where does the RS-4 sit between RS-3 and RS-5?
RS-3 is compact (24 slides, 940mm) for small labs. RS-4 is mid-range (45pcs slides, L*W*H=1390mm*560mm*480mm) with heating tank and ozone exhaust filtration. RS-5 is high-throughput (400 slides/hour, 36 stations) for large central labs.
How does the exhaust filtration work?
The RS-4 features exhaust filtration with ozone purification that captures and neutralizes formaldehyde, xylene, and alcohol vapors. The single-cylinder open/close design further reduces reagent volatilization.
Can it operate in both automatic and manual modes?
Yes. The RS-4 supports free switching between automatic and manual modes -- use auto for routine throughput and manual for protocol development or special stains.
