Immunohistochemistry Staining Chamber for Medical Research (8 Slide Holder)

<p><b>--UPDATE--</b><br/> I realized in my initial upload I only included the latest version of the lid, which has dividers between the samples holders. I have now included the original flat lid that has no dividers in case this is useful for you.</p> <p>This chamber is used to perform immunohistochemistry. It holds 8 glass slides horizontally so that antibodies or other solutions can incubate on the tissue. This provides a means to stain for an endless number of markers and is an essential piece of equipment that I use every day in the lab.</p> <p>I designed this since many of the incubation chambers I have found online were inadequate or not durable enough for regular lab use. Additionally, this was designed so that it fits on the prusa mini print bed.</p> <p>I strongly recommend printing in PETG since this can be wiped down and cleaned with lab cleaning reagents such as 70% ethanol.</p> <p>Assembly:</p> <p>The hinge for the lid and the bottom can be secured by simply inserting a 1.75 mm filament through the entire length of the hinge. It can be held in place by simply melting the ends of the filament.</p> <p>Please check out my other designs including:</p> <ul> <li><p>A smaller 2 slide case: <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/26487-immunohistochemistry-staining-chamber-2-slide-hold">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/26487-immunohistochemistry-staining-chamber-2-slide-hold</a></p> </li> <li><p>A slide holder for once your slides have been mounted with coverslips:<br/> <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/26492-microscope-slide-holder-10-slides-flat">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/26492-microscope-slide-holder-10-slides-flat</a></p> </li> </ul>
