Immunohistochemistry Staining Chamber for Medical Research (8 Slide Holder)

thingiverse

--UPDATE-- I've realized that my initial upload only included the latest version of the lid, which features dividers between the sample holders. I've now uploaded the original flat lid without dividers in case it's useful for someone. This incubation chamber is designed to perform immunohistochemistry. It can hold eight glass slides horizontally so that antibodies or other solutions can incubate on tissue samples. This allows users to stain for an endless number of markers, making it an essential piece of equipment used daily in the lab. I created this design because many online incubation chambers were inadequate or not durable enough for regular lab use. Additionally, I designed it to fit on a relatively small Prusa Mini print bed. I strongly recommend printing with PETG since it can be wiped down and cleaned with lab cleaning reagents such as 70% ethanol. Assembly Instructions: The hinge for the lid and bottom can be secured by inserting a 1.75 mm filament through its entire length. It can be held in place by simply melting the ends of the filament.
