The CDS-5 facilitates reliable and repeatable
chromosome spreading as evidenced in research
conducted by the Cytogenetics Laboratory at
the Mayo Clinic. Mayo’s research revealed that
optimum metaphase areas can be achieved at
various controlled combinations of temperature
and humidity. The use of an environmentally
controlled drying system is a practical and cost
effective way of achieving ideal chromosome
spreading in a routine and highly consistent
manner.

■■ Adapts Easily to Laboratory Surroundings
Our Cytogenetic Drying System is ideal for laboratories
because it operates quietly and releases minimal amounts
of heat. The system’s design optimizes the width of the
workspace and limits the overall exterior dimensions.
Casters are incorporated to accommodate movement
into and throughout the laboratory. The chamber is self
supported by a base that provides a comfortable work
station, ergonomically designed for technologists to prepare
slides in the standing or sitting position.
