Individual slide processing
Each slide sits in an individual compartment. Nozzles apply fresh reagent to limit cross-contamination.
Automated slide staining
DAGATRON DX-300
A slide-staining platform with a dedicated compartment for each slide and fresh reagent delivered by precision nozzles. The selected instrument configuration determines the available microbiology or haematology protocols.
- Manufacturer
- Dagatronics
- Capacity
- 1–20 slides; Ziehl-Neelsen: 1–10
- Program memory
- Up to 3 programs per staining protocol

FROM THE DEMONSTRATIONS
Ventilation
The DX-300 demonstration shows integrated ventilation: reagent vapours pass through a carbon filter before exhaust. Confirm installation requirements, filter maintenance and exact model with Medical Trade.
Custom programs
The demonstration shows staining-program customisation for laboratory needs. The June 2025 brochure specifies storage for up to three custom programs.
Warming and cleaning
The DX-300 presentation shows the stainer combined with a slide warmer and integrated cleaning/drying functions. The brochure also describes an integrated slide warmer and cleaning. Follow the required maintenance and laboratory control procedures.
