How does Omni-Stainer™ work?
#### How does Omni-Stainer™ work?
Omni-Stainer™ enables microscopy staining automation by hosting samples in thin capillary exchange chambers, thus allowing a liquid handler to supply reagents to the tops of the chambers. When a new buffer is added to the top, it is drawn into the chamber by the capillary force, instantly displacing the old buffer.
