Premiere XH-2003 Step Up Slide Warmer I Enhanced Ergonomics and High-Visibility Thermal Drying
The Premiere XH-2003 Step-Up Slide Warmer is designed for precision use in cytology, histology, and biology. It is an ideal choice for clinical laboratories, research organizations, and schools (recommended for grades 11 and up). Unlike traditional flat-bed heaters, the XH-2003 utilizes a unique “tiered” platform that holds up to 40 slides simultaneously while occupying minimal bench space.
The innovative “Step-Up” design allows technicians to safely pick up slides because one end extends off the heated steps, reducing the risk of specimen damage. The unit features an electrophoretic surface coating and internal heating tubes that spread heat uniformly across the entire surface.
Unique “Step-Up” Design for Efficiency
The standout feature of the Premiere XH-2003 is its four-level stepped platform. This high-visibility design accommodates high-volume workflows, allowing technicians to grasp the edge of each slide without disturbing neighboring samples. This streamlined layout is a favorite in high-paced clinical environments where speed and precision are paramount.
Professional Heat Distribution
Despite its complex shape, this industrial-grade unit provides uniform heat across all four tiers. It is equipped with a digital temperature controller that maintains a steady, thermal-stable environment from room temperature up to 70°C (± 2°C). The black anodized finish provides the sharp contrast necessary to inspect paraffin sections during the drying process.
SAFETY NOTICE: Handle this device with the same care as any heating device. Do not touch the heating surface until it is cool and do not turn on the surface if it is empty. Place the unit on a flat, level, heat-resistant surface away from edges and maintain at least 12 inches of clear space around the unit. Ensure the side heat ventilating holes are never blocked. Always use proper safety attire and follow safe laboratory procedures to prevent personal injury or equipment damage.
