Maculab – Automated Gram Staining Machine
Maculab automates Gram staining to reduce manual errors, speed up diagnosis, and process more slides simultaneously using controlled spraying and heat fixation.
Outcome Metrics
- Designed to process approximately 26–30 slides simultaneously
- Reduced dependence on manual Gram-staining procedures
- Reduced risk of over-decolorization and inconsistent heat fixation
- Faster sample processing and diagnostic turnaround
- Reduced laboratory workload for high-volume sample testing
- Improved consistency through controlled mist spraying and hot-air fixation
