Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Slide Warmer? 

A slide warmer is a lab device that preheats slides to ensure proper adhesion and reduce any moisture interference. 

What is the Use of a Slide Warmer in Histopathology?

In histopathology (the study of changes in tissues caused by disease), a microscope slide warmer aids in drying tissue sections for clearer staining and analysis. A slide warmer can also provide consistent heating for uniform sample drying, preventing overheating or distortion. 

What are the Advantages of a Slide Warmer?

Both a microscope slide warmer and a microbiology slide warmer have specific advantages which help to optimise the speed and quality of your analysis. Some of these include: 

• Consistent heating – preventing overheating and sample loss
• Improved sample adhesion – enhancing staining accuracy
• Time-saving
