GHM RF-III Stainer and Coverslipper

🚀 300 Slides per Hour — 3× the Throughput of Entry-Level Models

The RF-III delivers 300 slides per hour for staining and 400 slides per hour for coverslipping — triple the throughput of the RF-I and 1.5× that of the RF-II. For coverslips alone, that's 1,600 coverslips per hour at peak capacity.

Why it matters: Process high-volume batches without bottlenecks. Perfect for busy hospital labs, reference laboratories, and core facilities where every minute of throughput matters.

---

⚡ Complete in 5 Minutes — Staining & Coverslipping Together

Just like the rest of the RF series, the RF-III completes the entire staining and coverslipping process in just 5 minutes. Load racks, press start, and walk away — both processes run simultaneously in a single integrated instrument.

Why it matters: No waiting for a separate coverslipper to catch up. No transferring wet slides between instruments. A true one-button, all-in-one solution.

---

🧪 30 Total Stations — 21–23 Reagent Stations — Expandable

The RF-III features 30 total stations — significantly more than the RF-II (27) and RF-I (24). Reagent stations are standard at 21, expandable up to 23, with 450ml reagent containers matching the RF-II's larger volume.

Why it matters: Accommodate complex, multi-step staining protocols without reconfiguring the instrument. Expand reagent capacity as your menu grows. Run longer between refills.

---

🧩 2× Racks, 60 Slides Simultaneous Loading

The RF-III accepts two staining racks simultaneously, each holding 30 slides — for a total of 60 slides in process at once. The input/output drawer accommodates 3 stations for continuous loading.

Why it matters: Load one rack while another is processing. Zero downtime between batches. Perfect for continuous, high-throughput workflows where technicians load throughout the day.

---

📏 Macroslide Support — Handle Large Specimens

Like the RF-II, the RF-III supports macroslide racks. Process larger-format slides for whole-mount sections, breast cancer resection margins, and other macro specimens that won't fit on standard slides.

Why it matters: One instrument handles your entire case mix — from routine biopsies to large surgical resections. No need for a separate macroslide processing system.

---

🔬 4 Heated Stations with ±1°C Precision

The RF-III includes 4 reagent heating stations with precise temperature control from 0°C to 60°C, maintaining ±1°C accuracy.

Why it matters: Reproducible results run after run for temperature-sensitive protocols like special stains and immunohistochemistry. No hot spots, no cold spots — just consistent staining.

---

📱 11.6-Inch Touchscreen + 8.8-Inch Secondary Display

The RF-III features an 11.6-inch primary touchscreen (same as RF-II) plus a dedicated 8.8-inch monitor for the coverslipper module — a dual-screen setup unique in the series below the RF-V.

Why it matters: Monitor staining and coverslipping simultaneously. Dedicated coverslipper display shows real-time inventory, error alerts, and status without interrupting the staining interface.

---

💾 24 Custom Programs — Up to 54 Steps Each

Store up to 24 custom staining programs with up to 54 steps per program. Whether it's H&E, special stains, cytology, or research protocols, the RF-III adapts to your needs instantly.

Why it matters: Switch between stains in seconds. Validate and save your best protocols. Perfect for labs that run multiple stain types daily.

---

🛡️ Smart Coverslipping — 600 Coverslip Capacity, 400 Slides/Hour

The integrated coverslipper delivers 400 slides per hour — 33% faster than RF-II and double RF-I's speed. Smart features include:

• Defective coverslip detection — automatically rejects damaged or flawed coverslips

• Empty coverslip detection — real-time monitoring of coverslip availability

• Low inventory pre-alert — warns before coverslips run out

• 600 coverslip storage capacity — 3× the capacity of RF-I and RF-II

Why it matters: No ruined slides from bad coverslips. No mid-run surprises. Run longer between refills with 3× the coverslip storage.

---

🧩 120-Slide Output Rack Capacity

The RF-III's output rack holds 120 slides — 4 full staining racks' worth of finished slides waiting for the next step. That's 33% more than RF-II's 90-slide output.

Why it matters: Less frequent unloading. Let the machine run while you attend to other duties. Perfect for labs that batch process and want minimal interruptions.

---

🔊 Voice Reminders — Keep Moving

The RF-III includes voice reminders to alert technicians when cycles complete, when reagents need attention, or when coverslips are running low.

Why it matters: Multitask without constantly watching the screen. Voice alerts mean you never miss a cycle completion, even across a busy lab.

---

📦 Optimized Footprint for High-Volume Power

Dimensions: 1528mm × 625mm × 705mm (W×D×H). Weight: 165kg. The RF-III packs 300 slides/hour throughput into a footprint only 258mm wider and 35mm deeper than the RF-II.

Why it matters: Massive throughput without massive space requirements. Fits through standard doorways and onto standard lab benches.

---

🔌 CE-IVDR Certified — Ready for Diagnostic Labs

The RF-III is CE-IVDR certified, meeting the latest European regulatory standards for in vitro diagnostic medical devices.

Why it matters: Regulatory confidence for diagnostic labs worldwide. Deploy with assurance that your automation meets global standards.

---

🌍 Global Power Ready — 100–240V, 50/60Hz

Operates on 100–240V AC, 50/60Hz with interchangeable power sockets (Types A, C, D, E/F, G, I, J, L, M). Rated power: just 200VA.

Why it matters: Same instrument works anywhere in the world. No transformer needed. Low power consumption keeps operational costs down.
