New Slides Tab
Workflow Tab
Workflow Tab – After you have added the slides to the Artisan™ Link system, the
slides appear in a list on the Workflow Tab. These are slides that have procedures
(protocols) specified, but have not been loaded onto a stainer.
You can use this tab to plan slides for a stainer, determine the required reagents,
print reports, and manage the slides.
Instruments Tab – Once the slides are placed in the
Artisan™ Link, you can use the Instruments tab to start the
run. The stainer retrieves the procedure information for each
slide, and processes the slides accordingly.
You can also monitor the slides and stainers on the
Instruments Tab.
Instruments Tab
Completed Tab
Completed Tab –After slides are stained, you can review and print reports of
their slide records on the Completed Tab, including detailed run logs.
