GHM RF-V Stainer and Coverslipper #

🏭 Industrial-Grade Throughput — 600 Slides per Hour

The RF-V is the flagship of GHM's stainer and coverslipper series, engineered for high-volume industrial and core laboratory environments. It delivers a staggering 600 slides per hour for staining and 600 slides per hour for coverslipping — matching the highest throughput available in the RF series.

Why it matters: Process 600 slides in the same time other systems take to handle 100–300 slides. Designed for reference labs, large hospital pathology departments, biobanks, and centralized core facilities where every minute of throughput directly impacts patient care and operational revenue.

⚡ 5-Minute Complete Cycle — Staining & Coverslipping Together

The RF-V 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 optimized for continuous, high-volume operation.

---

🧪 35 Total Stations — 23–27 Reagent Stations — Expandable

The RF-V features 35 total stations — the highest in the series and significantly more than RF-III's 30 stations. Reagent stations are standard at 23, expandable up to 27.

Why it matters: Accommodate the most complex, multi-step staining protocols without ever reconfiguring the instrument. Perfect for labs that run dozens of different stain types daily.

---

🧪 750ml Reagent Containers — Maximum Runtime, Minimum Refills

The RF-V features 750ml±50ml reagent containers — the largest in the RF series. For labs that prefer the 450ml standard, the system can also accept those containers.

Why it matters: Run for days — or even weeks — without reagent refills. Minimize technician intervention in high-volume environments. Reduce consumables handling and waste.

---

🧩 30 Slides × 10 Racks — Industrial-Scale Batch Processing

The RF-V accepts 10 staining racks simultaneously, each holding 30 slides — for a jaw-dropping total capacity of 300 slides in process at once.

Why it matters: Load 300 slides at the start of the shift and walk away. Come back 5 minutes later to 300 finished, coverslipped slides ready for digitization or distribution. Zero downtime between batches.

---

📏 Macroslide Support — Full Compatibility

The RF-V supports macroslide racks, just like RF-II and RF-III. 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.

---

🔬 2–6 Heated Stations with ±1°C Precision

The RF-V includes 2–6 reagent heating stations (standard: 2, expandable up to 6) with precise temperature control from 0°C to 60°C, maintaining ±1°C accuracy.

Why it matters: Expandable heating capacity means you can process more temperature-sensitive protocols simultaneously. Reproducible results run after run for special stains and immunohistochemistry.

---

📱 12-Inch Touchscreen + 8.8-Inch Secondary Display

The RF-V features a 12-inch primary touchscreen — the largest in the series and an upgrade from RF-II and RF-III's 11.6-inch displays — plus a dedicated 8.8-inch monitor for the coverslipper module.

Why it matters: Monitor staining and coverslipping simultaneously on two large, clear displays. Dedicated coverslipper screen shows real-time inventory, error alerts, and status without interrupting the staining interface. The largest screen in the series means less strain on technicians during long shifts.

---

🛡️ Smart Coverslipping — 800 Coverslip Capacity, 600 Slides/Hour

The integrated coverslipper delivers 600 slides per hour — matching the staining throughput perfectly. 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

• 800 coverslip storage capacity — the largest in the series

Why it matters: No ruined slides from bad coverslips. No mid-run surprises. Run longer between refills with 800 coverslips onboard — that's over an hour of continuous operation at full speed.

---

🧩 360-Slide Output Rack Capacity

The RF-V's output rack holds 360 slides — 3× the capacity of RF-III's 120-slide output. That's 12 full staining racks' worth of finished slides waiting for the next step.

Why it matters: Unload once per shift instead of multiple times per hour. Let the machine run continuously while you attend to other duties. Perfect for industrial labs where minimal interruption is paramount.

---

🎛️ 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, research protocols, or industrial-scale production stains, the RF-V adapts instantly.

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

---

🔊 Voice Reminders — Keep Moving in High-Volume Environments

The RF-V 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. In a busy core lab, voice alerts mean you never miss a cycle completion, even across a noisy, high-traffic environment.

---

🔌 CE-IVDR Certified — Global Regulatory Confidence

The RF-V 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 industrial-scale automation meets the highest 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 — remarkably efficient for a system of this capacity.

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

🧠 Intelligent Staining Workflow Scheduling

The RF-V features the same intelligent scheduling logic embedded across the entire KF-RF series, based on research conducted by KFBIO in collaboration with Ningbo University. This scheduling algorithm optimizes staining workflow design for maximum efficiency, minimal reagent waste, and consistent quality at scale.

Why it matters: Intelligent scheduling means less idle time between batches, optimal reagent utilization, and consistent turnaround times even at peak capacity.
