Features

Our Step Up™ Slide Warmer's unique patent pending design helps you save space while still meeting a busy lab's needs. The slide warmer is the ideal choice for scientific research organisations, professional laboratories and high school labs (grades 11 and up). Applications include biological, cytological and histological fields.

The Premiere Step Up™ Slide Warmer has many advantages in unique design:

  • Easy to assemble and use.
  • Holds twice as many slides as a flat unit of the same size, which makes retrieving slides easier since the end of the slide is not on the flat surface.
  • Has 4 tiered levels, being able to warm up 40 slides at a time.
  • Anodized black surface provides contrast with samples.
  • Removable tray for easy cleaning.
  • Digital LED temperature display and temperature setting.
  • Easier and safer ability to pick up slides since one end of the slide extends off the tiered surface.
  • Electrophoretic surface coating.
  • Warms up slides by heating the tubes and spreads heat throughout the entire surface.
