Parhelia Omni-Stainer™ system utilizes capillary action to provide smooth laminar flow of tissue staining reagents for slide mounted () and coverslip mounted () samples, yielding reproducible results with huge reagent and time savings.
With capillary gap staining, the sample rests within a staining chamber, incubating in a thin capillary layer of liquid, thus resulting in a uniform exposure of tissue to the reagents.
The liquid layer is held in place by the capillary force and won't spontaneously flow out of the chamber even if the sample is held vertically. However, the "magic" happens, when a new liquid is applied to the top edge of the staining chamber: the new liquid instantly displaces the one that is currently occupying the chamber.
