Coplin Staining Jar Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Coplin Staining Jar (Product Code: SLE/CL/29) is an upright jar for staining techniques that holds 10 microscope slides of 26x76mm on edge, so a whole batch of smears can be dipped into one reagent at once. It is closed with a glass cover that withstands stains and organic solvents, and the slides stand taller than the opening so they can be lifted out by hand without forceps. Pathology, haematology and microbiology sections in clinics and hospitals rely on jars like this, and it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for laboratories planning a microbiology lab setup in India or refitting an existing staining bench.

Specifications

Typical Use

Most staining methods pass a slide through several liquids in a fixed order: a fixative, one or more stains, rinses, a differentiating step, and often alcohols and a clearing solvent before mounting. Laboratories set out a row of Coplin jars, one for each step, label them clearly, and move the slides from jar to jar with timed immersions. Because each jar takes up to 10 slides, a technician can stain a full batch of blood films, tissue sections or bacterial smears together instead of treating them one at a time.

Keep the glass cover on between runs to cut evaporation and fumes, especially for alcohol and solvent steps, and work in a well-ventilated area. Fill each jar high enough to cover the smear, filter or replace stains on a regular schedule so deposits do not settle on the slides, and lift slides by the end that projects above the rim. For school and college biology lab equipment in India, a small set of jars is also a simple way to teach students routine smear staining.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many slides does the jar hold, and what size?
It takes 10 slides of 26x76mm, standing on edge.

Can alcohol or solvents be kept in it?
The glass cover withstands stains and organic solvents. Keep the jar covered when not in use and handle solvent steps in a ventilated area.

Do I need forceps to take slides out?
No. The slides extend above the opening, so you can lift them by hand. Wear gloves when handling stains.

How many jars do I need for one staining method?
Usually one jar per reagent step. Count the fixatives, stains, rinses and solvents in your protocol and order that number of jars.

How should the jar be cleaned?
Empty it, rinse with water, remove stain deposits with laboratory detergent or a suitable solvent, and let it dry fully before refilling.
