User manual LEICA CV MOUNT BROCHURE

[. . . ] Leica CV Mount is a mounting medium based on polymers of butylmethacrylate in xylene (no monomers are present) with optimum viscosity for automated coverslipping. Leica CV Mount has been extensively tested on the Leica CV5030 Coverslipper and has proven to be the optimal choice. [. . . ] This would be observed by appearance of cloudy or milkylooking mountant or swirly patterns observed under the coverslip. Good quality coverslips have been checked for broken glass fragments and sticking coverslips removed. Ensure coverslips are pushed to the rear of the magazine and there are adequate coverslips in the magazine. Rough handling can lead to distortion which will effect the ability of the gripper arm to remove slides from a rack. "Good Laboratory Practice" and a safe working environment is very imortant for coverslipping with all mountants. If the above hints and tips are followed the coverslipping results will be excellent. Leica CV Mount is optimized for use in the Leica CV5030 Coverslipper with minimum to no air voids produced. There is no programming required for using the Leica CV5030 Coverslipper with Leica CV Mount, simply refer to the mountant type setting and recommended volume as stated above. Once the settings have been selected, prime the mountant dispensing nozzle, place input and output racks in position and press the , , rack" button on the user keypad. Slides are withdrawn from the input rack with precision and placed onto a moving platform where Leica CV Mount is applied undiluted from an integral mountant reservoir via an adjustable nozzle. , , Good Laboratory Practice" will allow the user to achieve optimum coverslipping performance. [. . . ] Then priming the tubing system with Leica CV Mount using same procedure as for xylene.
