Knowledge articleSpecifying a Slide Staining Machine for a Government Tender
Define throughput, programmability and safety by function to keep the tender fair.
Writing a government tender for a slide stainer is an exercise in fairness as much as engineering. Specify by function, and the process is defensible and the pricing honest. Specify by brand, and you've invited a challenge. Here's what to pin down.
Throughput and programs
State slides per hour to match your workload, and the number of programmable parallel protocols you need for H&E plus your special stains. That anchors the spec to your real needs, not a particular model.
Safety and reagent handling
Ask for fume management and sensible reagent handling — they protect staff and belong in any fair spec, whoever ends up supplying the machine.
The documentation and support
Installation, training, warranty, AMC and compliance documents are part of what you're procuring; write them in. If you want a competition-neutral starting spec for a slide staining machine, our team is happy to share one you can adapt.
